Make Love! The Bruce Campbell Way

MAKE LOVE! THE BRUCE CAMPBELL WAY (Bruce Campbell) - Two Stars

How do you review a book like this?

Make Love... is, supposedly, Bruce Campbell's first person insight on the behind the scenes chaos of an "A-list" movie. In this case, that movie is "Let's Make Love," a supposed Mike Nichols-directed remake of a 1960s Marilyn Monroe movie, this time starring Richard Gere and Renee Zellweger. Bruce gets the minor part of Foyl, a doorman, and hilarity ensues... hilarity involving multiple run-ins with Colin Powell and the Secret Service, monster-truck shopping, kung-fu stunts with Richard Gere, infiltrating a Southern gentleman's club, wedding planning, impersonating studio executives, maddeningly slow dial-up, prison, and much much more.

Whereas Campbell's first book, If Chins Could Kill, was a non-fiction account of trying to make it in the movie business, Make Love... is fictional novel, and I think it suffers for it. If you found "Evil Dead" or "Army of Darkness" stupid, you'll probably feel the same about this book. Truly, a book for fans, it's an enjoyable, but throwaway read.

The white shirts is ass holes.
