Jeff Goldblum stars in Pittsburgh, a fly-on-the-wall comedy in which the Jurassic Park and Independence Day actor plays himself taking a career hit by playing Harold Hill in a regional theatre production of The Music Man. Despite the pleas of his agent to take a plum part in a new Michael Bay sci-fi epic, Goldblum locks himself into a two-week stint in his hometown of Pittsburgh in order to help his fiancée, actress Catherine Wreford (also playing herself)--cast in the musical as Hill's love interest, Marian--get a green card. The very idea of Goldblum taking on the larger-than-life role of con man Hill is hilarious, and he gamely plays up his absolute unsuitability for the job. While Golblum's anxiety goes up and up over botched rehearsals, other people in his life--especially good friend Ed Begley Jr. and Illeana Douglas--draw him into their own problems (Begley with a failed solar-power machine and Douglas with her ill-fated romance with Moby). Co-directed by Chris Bradley and Kyle LaBrache (Illeanarama), Pittsburgh is a remarkably energetic movie in which Goldblum appears to be working harder than he ever has before on screen, dancing and singing and throwing himself into a series of demanding scenes that often last no more than a few seconds. This is well worth a visit for fans of Goldblum or anyone who enjoyed the likes of Waiting for Guffman. --Tom Keogh

Ok, I realize it was a "mockumentary", not a chronicle of real events; but I understand that it was based on a real event. Did Goldblum really play Harold Hill? Has there ever been a worse fit for a role?
"Well...uh...you see... you've got....uh....trouble".

Pittsburgh is a movie you don't expect it to be; a mockumentary about a real occurrence, with some great acting by Jeff Goldblum, Ed Begley and Illeanna Douglas. I would definitely call this movie "quirky," because there is so much unique delight in the storytelling and the production value, that you can't help but sit enthralled by it all. Some of the funniest stuff is between Goldblum and his agent who plays himself in the movie. While certainly not the same as Christopher Guest's brand of mockumentary, ... Read More

This is a thoroughly enjoyable movie that shows the deep humanity of Jeff Goldblum and how he is such a genuine human being, going through the difficulties of a commitment he made for love. You see him facing incredible odds as he tries to make his role in "The Music Man" workable. You can see his fear that he may be in the process of damaging his career.
Nothing could be further from the truth. In my mind, this movie cements Jeff Goldblum as someone whose entire career and very essence ... Read More

I saw this at a film fesival where they screened the movie for free. Half way through people began walking out due to boredom. By the time the movie was done, maybe one quarter of the original audience was still there.
