Five writers work together to offer criticism and support
for each other’s work. When one of the less educated members gets a book deal,
everyone gets a bit bent out of shape and things in this mockumentary begin to
slide down hill.
I did not like this movie. About 10 minutes into it I got
bored and it never got better.
I kept expecting sweethearts Kaley Cuoco-Sweeting (The Big Bang Theory, 8 Simple Rules, Charmed)
or Chris Klein (American Pie, The United
States of Leland, Wilfred) to bring Authors
Anonymous into the adorable zone or acting veteran Dennis Farina (Law and Order, Saving Private Ryan, Snatch)
to bring it to a new amusingly sardonic level. Unfortunately, it just didn’t
happen that way.
I don’t blame the actors, I blame the script.
Authors Anonymous
had the chance to be great. The concept was decent enough; the problem was the actualization
of that concept. This was, however, David Congalton’s first, and only, writing
credit, according to IMDB. If he manages to get his style polished, he may have
some great stories to tell in the future.
None-the-less, it will always be easy to tell which script
was his first.
