Features: DVD
Get ready to see the City of Angels in a way you haven't before - through the eyes of Nick Decker. An ambitious but unknown actor, Decker plunges headfirst into Hollywood's notorious star making maze in the hope of finding fame and celebrity. But Nick quickly learns that LA is always full of surprises - and you never know who's going to make it.
"...a fun ride." Willie Waffle, WaffleMovies.com
Editor's Note
A director follows around a young actor, Nick Decker, trying to make it big in Hollywood, in order to capture his rags-to-riches story on film. Along the way the hapless actor runs into failure and catastrophe at every corner, while another rejected actor keeps turning up with a series of successes. To prop up the failing star, the director decides to hire Angie Everhart (as herself) to play Nick's glamorous girlfriend. A funny satire of Hollywood along the lines of THIS IS SPINAL TAP, and featuring a bevy of star appearances.

| | Professional Reviews | Movie Vault 5 of 10
This movie shows how hard it is to be a part of the movie business, how much skills and luck is required and why so many people fail in their attemps to succeed in Hollywood. I don't know exactly what to say about the performances because there wasn't any...Rifkin was talking to the camera sometimes, and the rest of the time having normal conversations with Nick, both being aware that the camera was filming them, so even if it was acting, it was meant to look like it wasn't. There are a bunch of cameos by real movie stars that don't help at all, and the story, despite being sort of original (At least I think so), is not too good. The movie was slow, boring and sometimes dull, I don't think you should waste your time on this. - Arturo Garcia Lasca
The Onion A.V. Club 7 of 10
An underwhelming cross between Real Life and 20 Dates, Welcome To Hollywood actually suffers from being too nice. Rifkin and company avoid easy attacks on crass, misanthropic Hollywood stereotypes, but their take on Hollywood is no more rewarding, funny, or complex. For reasons known only to the filmmakers, Welcome handles Hollywood with kid gloves, even treating star-studded premieres, supermodels, Baywatch, and Access Hollywood with undue respect. A lack of momentum proves even more damaging: Welcome meanders aimlessly from one limp comic set-up to another, resulting in a tame comedy that, like its subject's acting career, never quite gets off the ground - Nathan Rabin
