My quick rating - 6,3/10. If it were not for the novelty and sheer difficulty of performing a movie live, this really wouldn't be anything special. It isn't a bad story about one mans ego and him finding himself locked up in London and realizing the world doesn't revolve around him. It also isn't all that good. I have to imagine any really bold ideas though have to be left behind when it is a live production. Running from the police would most likely have included a couple jumps from rooftops, or maybe a car chase. Not ducking and hiding on playground equipment. But you have to take that into consideration when watching. Still the comedic timing is good and Owen Wilson is very funny as the "best friend" to Harrelson. I think Woody poking fun at himself also does lend to the charm of it. I know I am late, but if you are as well, check it out.
