This show is very original and too funny to describe. Will Ferrell plays an insane best-selling author who financed and directed a miniseries based on one of his novels. It took three years to complete the filming (1976- 1979) and the result is a ridiculously stupid farce that was finally released 35 years later. Kristen Wiig steals the show as she plays the author's wife in her only acting role. Her hammy acting and crazy facial expressions are genius. The crazy director even sought to save money by trying to pass off a mannequin in one of the leading roles. Not only that but the special effects are so phony...miniature buildings and cars, strings showing holding up airplanes...too much fun!
