Queen of the Lot

These 4 gushing mini-reviews, all with 100 scores, smell like fakes to me... That said, this is one of Jaglom's best efforts. Noah Wyle is fantastic--I had no idea he was so good. Why does Jaglom keep marrying these annoying twats and casting them as his leads? At least Frederick's flaws mostly serve the character in this one. In a way, it's comforting to see the same people crop up over and over again in his movies--but it's also a little weird. Too bad he doesn't cast Noah Wyle in everything.

"Co-opting claims of having created an insufferable lead character, Jaglom includes a meta-moment in which Maggie uncovers a quote from real-life Boston Globe critic Ty Burr." - Andrew Schenker

Tanna Frederick and Henry Jaglom team up again in Queen of the Lot. Casting Noah Wyle as the romantic lead was brilliant. Frederick and Wyle have some excellent scenes together. Both actors are at the top of their game as well as the supporting cast.

I saw a sneak preview. Queen of the Lot is funny. Tanna Frederick and Noah Wyle have sizzling onscreen chemistry. Girl (Frederick) goes to Hollywood to be a star - no matter what it takes. Gets B-list stardom, meets boy (Christopher Rydell). They fall in love. Girl meets boy's brother (Noah Wyle). Oops! There's humor, drama, intrigue, family feuds. All put together in the engaging film with a great supporting cast that includes Kathryn Grant, Zack Norman, David Proval, Jack Heller, Peter Bogdano

Queen of the Lot is Henry Jaglom's best film yet. Tanna Frederick and Noah Wyle are magical together. Great supporting cast. Great comedy, great drama, movie.

I saw this film at the Iowa Film Festival and loved it. Tanna Frederick and Noah Wyle give great performances. Maggie (Frederick) will do anything to be a star. Sparks fly when boyfriend Dov (Rydell) takes her home to meet his show-biz royalty family - and his brother (Wyle) - the black sheep of the family. There's humor, intrigue, poignant moments and mayhem. I highly recommend this film.
