Sweet film which feels like it’s directed by Woody Allen rather than Richard Linklater. Zac Effron is likeable as the school student who gets involved in Orson Welles' production of Julius Caesar - although it would have been a better movie if we had more of a sense of Effron's character (where he came from, etc). Christian Mackay's Orson Welles is brilliant - very hard to do, but he pulls it off. Clare Danes is a bit of a nothing in her part (an easy one to play); excellent support cast, including Eddie Marsden as John Houseman and James Tupper (a real find) as Joe Cotten. The re-production of Caesar is excellent.
