What Just Happened

(2008) Directed by Barry Levinson. A week in the life of powerful Hollywood producer Ben (Robert DeNiro) as he juggles negotiations with a studio head so that his newest picture can open at Cannes in two weeks, with a high-strung director who must make edits to the film, with an actor (Bruce Willis) and his agent because the star has arrived on the set of a new picture with a full beard, and with his most recent ex-wife, Kelly (Robin Wright), whom he discovers might have a lover. He also notices that his 17-year-old daughter (Kristen Stewart) from another marriage has been crying. Can Ben keep it all together, get the green light from the studio to go to Cannes, move his new picture past the beard crisis, and maybe return to Kelly's good graces? [Comedy | Drama | Satire]
