But the show suddenly gets canceled.ĭevastated, Ally goes home and cries with her cat, then consults her agent (an amusing Amy Sedaris), who suggests she stick with the dessert theme - maybe a show called “Dis-Hurt Locker,” involving Jeremy Renner and baklava? (Brie and Franco have lots of fun sending up reality TV. Ally is great at getting people to admit private stuff on camera.

But there’s a late, desperate move on Ally’s part in this often entertaining but also hectic and hit-or-miss story that’s so nasty, you just stop rooting for her - and wish Julianne would swoop in, 25 years later, and set her young doppelganger straight.
