“For starters, love scenes are never the result of an actor's romantic prowess, or insistence. These are obligatory elements of any cinematic romance story, and actors in leading roles are often confronted with them. In reality, shooting a love scene is about as exciting as groping my sister – and thankfully, I don't have one.”
- Bruce Campbell, Chapter 1: Let's Make Love

A fictional story about Bruce Campbell's attempt to co-star in a big budget movie. To meet the challenge, he would prepare with a new level of intensity. Alas, that very same enthusiasm lands him on the FBI's international security list for being a “person of interest.” Undaunted, he continues his research for his character. Unfortunately (for him), his brief stints as a wedding planner, relationship consultant, southern gentleman, and doorman all end in disaster. Complete with articles, special effect photography, and girls! Girls! Girls! (Sort of. Anyway...)

Bruce Campbell takes a humorous look at the bureaucracy of filmmaking. Method actors and pompous Hollywood celebrities. A must read for the movie fan. (and most importantly, himself)
