Like tofu
“Pipe Dream” tells a simple tale of a plumber (Donovan) who falls in like with a screen writer (Parker) and, using her script for phony movie auditions as a way to meet babes, ends up directing an indie which may just be the next big thing. Like so much tofu, “Pipe Dream” is bland, light, reasonably palatable, and isn’t likely to win any awards for its food group. An easy-going, good natured flick with little to fault and little to praise, “Pipe Dream” makes for an enjoyable though forgettable 90 minute watch. (B-)
Want To Follow Your Dream And Get Laid? Make a Movie Or Pretend To
Whether we want to admit it or not (I certainly do), anyone who’s in a nowhere job wants to break out and follow their passion. “Pipe Dream”, a small, quirky, rom-com indie, notes that.A NYC plumber, David Kulovic (Martin Donovan of “Saved” and “The Haunting in Connecticut) feels invisible, being fault of the city’s working class and mistreated by the power elite. After being invited to the casting office of a childhood friend, RJ (Kevin Carroll), and being “wowed” by the sexy actresses who audition there, David decides to break the dividing line by pretending to be a filmmaker in order to meet some of said thespians in audition sessions. Quite the cad
He needs samples from a script, and the only scribe David knows is fellow tenant/one night stand Antonia “Toni” Edelman (sweet, smart Mary-Louise Parker of “Weeds” and “Red”), who works as a copywriter at an equities firm, a day job she despises. Finding common ground (despite a theft issue), David, RJ and Toni set up the film production of “Pipe Dream”, an odd indie comedy that attracts a naive wannabe producer who puts up the budget; Hollywood power brokers and Toni’s co-worker, Marliss Funt, (Rebecca Gayheart, “Urban Legend”) who charms David and gets the lead female role. Toni’s jealously and David’s on-the-sly filmmaking skills complicates things to hilarious results.
There have been a lot of “inside the entertainment biz” films, yet “Pipe Dreams” has a down-to-earth charm because it’s about creative people trying to get in the “door”. Though his direction’s isn’t too distinguished, helmer John C. Walsh has knitted a nice, durable script with co-scribe Cynthia Kaplan (who appears as an talent agent’s secretary), echoing the screwball romantic comedies of the 1930s and 1940s with some modern sitcom elements.
Donovan’s sly underdog pairs well with Parker’s straightforward, intellectual spunk; they carry the film. Everyone else’s competent, but I really liked actress/writer Guinevere Turner (“The Notorious Bettie Page”, “Chasing Amy” and “Dogma”) as a snarky talent agent. Jill Hennessey (“Law & Order”, “Crossing Jordan”) has a nice cameo as an established thespian.
If you have dreams of fame and prosperity, watch “Pipe Dream” on a weekend afternoon and be inspired. You’ll chuckle, too.
