Rogue's Review:

Oh, We Got Trouble

Pittsburgh comes off like a wannabe Christopher Guest mockumentary - Guest is even mentioned in the film - but this isn't necessarily a bad thing.

It does start out kind of weird, to where you're not sure if you're going to stay with it (saw it on cable) but the vibe is edgy enough to suck you in, plus Illeana Douglas is supremely charming and when Moby shows up, it becomes downright eerie-in-a-most-excellent-spoofy-kinda-way. Not sure if they were actually dating or not; in fact it's tricky to know which parts of the film are genuine and which are made up, and this of course adds to the fun.

The film centers around Goldblum's decision to audition for the part of Harold Hill in his hometown's 2-week run of the play The Music Man in order for his Canadian girlfriend to get to stay in the United States. Can Goldblum pull off the part? Put it this way: he ain't no Robert Preston. His attempts to perform the songs from the play are hilarious - his version of Trouble makes him appear like he's about to have a conniption fit, as he waves his arms around maniacally, sputtering out the lyrics.

It's all good clean fun in the end, and I was left with a feeling of lightheadedness, which surprised me. Ultimately, Pittsburgh is a very charming and clever little piece of film making.
