Review – The Hollywood Complex

I will never look at kids in movies the same way again. This documentary takes us behind the scenes of the Oakwood Complex, apartments for families who are trying to get their kids into show business. Do I even have to observe that for the most part this is really depressing? As the cameras roll, kids go through acting classes, endless auditions, and every once in awhile normal kid activities. And of course there are plenty of photographers, casting directors, agents and con artists posing as agents. The truly amazing part is that almost all the celebrities who got their starts as kids went through this process, many at the Oakwood. Mildly amusing
