The book attempts to make an entertaining but meaningless movie into something important. And the chapters on the making of the movie itself are interesting. But the rest of the book, probably 55% of it, are about how all those involved were indulging in drugs and other destructive behaviors. It ended with the death of Doug Kenney, the writer/producer, who may have committed suicide or may have just fell off a cliff in Hawaii. The sad lives of those involved make it all less funny.
