One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

I can proudly say I was a Piven fan before it was "cool" to be a Piven fan. OK, now for the movie. Great fantasy, and as for plausibility, I've seen more fantastic things happen in real life (mine), but I'm an optimist, and good things tend to happen to optimists, and of course, these kinds of movies are aimed at such, not at Mr. Pensive, brooding, deep tortured souls. He! He! Good plot, good pace, fair chemistry. This was back in the days when Sherilyn Fenn was actually likable, and as I said, I'm a Pevin fan, and don't think he can be un-likable, even when he is villainous. I think this might have been his first leading role, one where his character wasn't the lead's best friend. But even as "just" the best friend, he shines, steals quite a few scenes, and makes the lead shine brighter. I liked this movie. I own this movie and watch it frequently.

Jeremy Piven and Sherilyn Fenn are sane lovers trying to find one another in an insane world. They make a very charming screen couple -- why aren't they doing more films together? Piven's role as a tour bus driver keeps him putting on an act he despises to maintain an unlikely relationship with Fenn, who plays the part of a rising movie star. Just Write is a fresh, charming treatment of an old storyline, made enjoyable by memorable characters.To balance the niceness of the two leads, Jo Beth Williams and Alex Rocco give outstanding performances as cynical supports. Williams delivers some great lines as Fenn's forever-on-the-phone agent, and Rocco, as Piven's lame father, provides an entertaining obstacle for his son to nudge aside so he can shoot for the moon.Wallace Shawn, Jeffrey Sams, Yeardley Smith, and Stephanie Miller keep the laughs coming in minor support roles, and Costas Mandylor is the Hummer-driving, GQ- reading soap star boyfriend Fenn can't shake loose.Relax and give it a try. I think you'll end up watching it more than once.

"Just Write" is a little - no, make that tiny - formula romantic comedy fluff pic full of filler with only two things going for it: Piven and Fenn. Yes, it lags and yes it's silly and predictable. However, the naive trolley-bus driver (Piven) and Hollywood rising star (Penn) do work together. Recommended for those in the mood for romantic comedy but have seen all the big ones.

Dramas and Romances are usually movies I tend to avoid like the plague most of the time, although on occasion I sit through one or two every so often to remind me that men & women have the same basic emotions and that it is possible to get along and be happy. This movie in particular exemplifies this completely. Its the classic rags to riches type story with an unknown, in this case a tour bus driver, who falls for a movie star and in the process learns a lot about himself, movies, screen-writing, and the joys of life. I highly recommend this as a good family, make-u-feel-good type movie!Overall Rating 4.5 out of 5
