A Wacky and Hilarious Romp Through Hollywood...
 
 
Features: DVD
 
Experience the ups and downs of trying to make it in the Entertainment Capital of the World, courtesy of Jackie Woodman (Laura Kightlinger) and her best friend, Tara Wentzel (Nicholle Tom).

Jackie, a writer for a second-rate indie film rag, and Tara, a low-level employee at a film production company, are determined to succeed in this fast paced L.A. scene. Armed only with willful ignorance, fleeting confidence and poor judgment, this lovable, and barely functional duo continually screw up - yet somehow manage to persevere and stay best friends.

This two disc collection includes all eight episodes from Season One of The Minor Accomplishments of Jackie Woodman!
 
"Kightlinger has a nice presence and sultry voice...[in a show] meant to appeal to those who can identify with the darker side of the film world's vagaries..."  Brian Lowry, Variety
"...relish[es] skewering the Hollywood underbelly in ways that make it a major accomplishment."  Ross Reudiger, Bullz-Eye
"...hilarious satire..."  Time Out New York

 


Editor's Note

Two best friends navigate the savage world of the entertainment industry in this hilarious, and wincingly accurate, satire on life in Los Angeles. As a writer for a small-time independent film magazine, Jackie Woodman (Laura Kightlinger) joins her friend Tara Wentzel (Nichole Tomm), a low-rung employee in a film production company, on an irreverent journey through the obstacles of Hollywood, and the pitfalls of single life.

Professional Reviews
Bullz-Eye 9 of 10
It's a genuinely cool feeling when a TV show that looked uninteresting upon first glance turns out to be a major winner. Such is the case with IFC's "The Minor Accomplishments of Jackie Woodman"...Frankly, the show could potentially look uninteresting in numerous ways, but, for me, it was mostly due to its L.A./Hollywood-based setting, an environment that's starting to seem awfully repetitive in the current TV climate. (Surely a list of examples isn't necessary?) But a show about "the Biz" doesn't have to be an exercise in more of the same, and "Jackie Woodman" seems to relish skewering the Hollywood underbelly in ways that make it a major accomplishment.The problem is that describing the plots of "Jackie Woodman" or giving away episode titles doesn't do the show justice. Its setups and payoffs are so out there they must be experienced to understand that they could even be funny. The dialogue is positively acidic, and the characters take no prisoners and roast every sacred cow that walks across their path. For a show that on the surface looks like "Sex and the City," it actually owes a hell of a lot more to "Curb Your Enthusiasm"...Laura Kightlinger and Nicholle Tom are not types generally considered "sexy," but I'll be damned if I didn't find lust a big part of spinning one "Jackie Woodman" episode after another. - Ross Reudiger
