Plot: James L. Brooks' showbiz comedy I'll Do Anything is The Musical That Almost Was (after test screenings Brooks removed all the musical numbers in the film, turning the film into a songless romantic comedy). Matt Hobbs (Nick Nolte) is a hardly working actor who finds himself raising his 6-year-old daughter Jeannie (Whittni Wright) after her mother Beth (Tracey Ullman) is sent away to prison. Since Matt now has to support a daughter, he has to develop more regular work habits. As a result, he takes a job as a chauffeur for a William Castle-inspired schlockmeister named Burke Adler (Albert Brooks). As Adler develops a relationship with divorced test-marketing researcher Nan Mulhanney (Julie Kavner), Matt becomes romantically attached to beautiful development executive Cathy Breslow (Joely Richardson). ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide

I seen this movie when I was younger, and it has been my favorite movie ever sense. I was 7 when it came out, and I've loved it for 13 years now! Reciently, I've searched all over my tricounty area and have not been able to find this DVD or move anywhere, but I found BOTH on here, and I bought both. I'm every happy and excited. good movie. period.

Yuch! What a waste! The kid in this movie is truly obnoxious with a capital "O". The press said she's five, but she plays as an adult teenage type of precocious brat who really irritated. She looked like a teenager with a small body. The whole movie seemed slightly disconnected, as if it couldn't make up its mind where it was going. This was supposed to have been a musical, but they cut all the songs out. Maybe that's why it seems so choppy. Nobody seems to know who they really are. And Nolte looked strange. Maybe he'd had some work done on his face. He was somewhat too old for this part. Albert Brooks gruffed up his voice for his role, which didn't sound right. The two female leads were just plain quirky. One of the worst movies that I saw from '94. And the clothes they put on the kid - looked like Jim Henson dressed her, hair and all. Too bad. This is a good cast, lost in a bad script. James Brooks, who also directed the fabulous "Broadcast News" and "Terms of Endearment" sure had a bad day here.

I Want My Yellow Dress!
Added 11/4/2005

I don't know why some people dislike this movie but I just love it. My Mom & I have been watching this movie since it came out on VHS. It has great scenes and the little girl is so adorable and bratty all at the same time. If you haven't seen this movie rent it and give it a chance.

GREAT VARIETY! JEANNE, WHAT A GAL!
Added 1/14/2003

Very entertaining not knowing what the next moment held. Matt deserved what he got, not knowing his daughter. Jeanne! A great performance and all from a small package. So much talent displayed. A wonderful cast. I absolutely LOVED IT.
