Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Lisa Picard (Laura Kirk) isn't famous, but she wants to be. She's an aspiring actress who's been chosen by a documentary filmmaker (Griffin Dunne) who wants to record what happens when someone hits it big; does the new star change, or does the surrounding world change? Lisa Picard Is Famous is a brutal satire of actors, as funny and as savage as its sister mockumentary Waiting for Guffman. The movie follows Lisa as she goes from a soft-porn cereal commercial to a bit part in a TV movie with Melissa Gilbert, while her best friend Tate (Nat DeWolf) writes and stars in an off-Broadway hit. Along the way are genuine (maybe) interviews with celebrities like Buck Henry and Carrie Fisher, who have their own mordant perspective. Theater and movie people may find that Lisa Picard Is Famous cuts a little too close for comfort. --Bret Fetzer

I love this movie so much - I could watch it over and over (espcecially the scene immediately after the airing of "A Call for Help"). The writing is so smart, poignant, and right on the money for anyone who wants an insider's view of trying to make it as an actor in NY, and also a biting commentary on the commercialism of the movie industry. I am not an actor nor have I ever wanted to be, but I totally get it. Anyone who's got any insight into human behavior probably will. Just thinking about ... Read More

The show is a hoot, a trainwreck in slow motion. Fun set up as a mockumentary. Griffin Dunne gives us a knowing and askance take on the desperate search for fame. The show belongs to Laura Kirk,an avalanche of talent with a range of skills that puts many notables who make cameo appearances to shame. She is heart rendingly funny, touching and vulnerable. Lisa Pickard is never going to be famous as Ms. Kirk reveals her to us. But there is no reason this gifted performer should stay in the shadows, ... Read More

Being a major Linda Blair fan, when I saw that she was credited with being in this movie I went ahead and purchased it. Bad move. The extent of Blairs performance is a black and white inset photo as Carrie Fisher tells the audience how she is sometimes mistaken for Linda. THAT'S IT !
The movie itself isn't bad, just not the sort of movie one would watch over again, hence negating the need for purchase. The whole movie has an admirable student film feel about it, and has some surprising cameo's, ... Read More

I enjoyed the many facets of this movie. There were painful scenes and funny scenes and I really got the sense of how much courage actors have to have to put themselves out there all the time and how much disappointment is a part of acting. The most centered actors in the movie seemed to be the ones not going for the fame that acting can bring, the centered actors seemed to be the ones who was going for the love of their craft.

I like Griffin Dunne and found this "mockumentary' style film amusing with good cameo-appearances from Buck Henry, Carrie Fisher, Fisher Stevens recollecting experiences in the fame-game acting world.
As a former actor myself whom gave-up I found this comedy pretty close to the mark and laughed out loud many times.
The blinding ambition, self-delusions and self-absorption true to life.
The focus is little known actress Lisa Picard whose main claim to some fame and notoriety are hilrariously ... Read More
