   Oct 15, 2008 · This isn't a Hollywood satire, it's a sitcom. The flywheels of the plot machine keep it churning around, but it chugs off onto the back lot and doesn't hit anybody in management. Only Penn and Willis are really funny, poking fun not at themselves but at stars they no doubt hate to work with.

   Is 'what just happened' a satirical movie?

   • As it follows Ben, a harried movie producer played by Robert De Niro, through his complicated routines, “What Just Happened” achieves a tone of shrugging, studious detachment. Clearly the picture’s dry, cynical humor is intended as evidence of its satirical bona fides.
