From AudioFile
Lizzie Miller, a sort of Bridget Jones in Hollywood, is first assistant to the head of a major talent agency. She also has a famous director boyfriend, a second assistant who behaves like a tarantula, and a pal who cheated her out of producer credit on a movie she helped him set up. He gives the credit back, though, when an early screening goes badly and he wants to share the blame. There is something oddly low-energy about Shelly Frasier's reading, though she is thoroughly adept and the story itself is a fairy tale comic romp. Frasier's Lizzie is a loveable goofball, and even her libertine but loyal teen screen diva, Emerald, charms. It's all daft, but a lot of fun.
