Last week we attended the 2 Dudes and a Dream premiere at Arclight. The film follows the journey of Thomas Price (Brian Drolet) and Sebastian Dinkle (Nic Nac). just two dudes trying to fulfill the dream in Hollywood.  What dream, you ask?  Take a wild guess.  Yup, you betcha--to be rich and famous.



Celebrities who attended the premiere included Jordan Eubanks, Al Santos, Ryan Cook, Simon Rex, Kristin Cavallari, Carlos Ramirez, Ed Perry, Katja Decker Sadowski, Cameron Goodman, Tanja Reichert, Jason Wahler, Michael Copon, Kristen DeLuca, Brittany Flickinger, Jonathan Keltz, Christina De Rosa, Sidney Faison, Andy Milonakis, Austin Anderson, Jillian Murray, Frankie Needles, Rachele Brooke Smith, Somaya Reece, Joanna Mahaffy, Trisha Cummings and more.

It has potential to become a cult classic, like Napoleon Dynamite.  It even stars a Ramirez, Carlos Ramirez, that is.  He's the twin brother of Efren Ramirez, better known as Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite.  Other notables include Jay Mewes, the 'Jay' of Jay and Silent Bob, and Simon Rex, now better known as Dirt Nasty.



Working in Hollywood, we especially appreciated the movie's parody of the entertainment industry stereotypes and clichés - struggling aspiring actors, agents, producers, entourages, groupies, club promoters, parties, drugs, etc.  Oh, and who can forget the ever important "Hollywood D-Bags."  Not saying we know any personally, ahem.



The film pokes fun at the true lives of people who are so admired all around the world. Like Andy M's character says in the film, "perception is reality"--that's the Hollywood motto.  Things are not as great as they seem.  By night, they could be out on the red carpet, but by day, they are struggling to pay the rent, while making sure to keep up with the hottest trends in fashion, hair and diets.  It takes a lot of willpower to keep with it and stay in the game, which is the problem Tom faces.  Uncertainty of whether he is cut out for the industry, or even wants to be.

To quote the film's website: "This film is intently accessible to a broad demographic ranging from 15 to 45 saturated with pop culture and sophisticated comedic timing. There is an eclectic spectrum of farcical wit and situational comedy."
