Plots(1)
After playing a difficult director in STATE AND MAIN, William H. Macy stars as a less-than-lucky film producer in this comedy. He's struggling to create a film about Benjamin Disraeli when his star (LL Cool J) is kidnapped. Meg Ryan plays an executive who teams up with Macy's character to rescue the actor--and the movie--from certain death. (official distributor synopsis)
