It's been nine months since Bobby Conlon's wife dumped him
for a hot young film director and he's doing great. Okay, so
he occasionally breaks into Natalie's apartment and sobs
along to her old Carole King records, but that's only when
he's out of meds. He's better now. One hundred percent. And
to prove it, he's throwing out that year-old Christmas tree
decorated with five hundred empty Vicodin bottles and flying
to Texas to work on a movie starring Ralph the Swimming Pig.
But once in Texas, Bobby realizes he's signed on to the
most dysfunctional movie ever. The director can't direct,
the pig catches pneumonia, and just when things can't get
any worse, Natalie and her boyfriend are hired to take over
the movie. Suddenly, Bobby's personal and professional lives
collide, and no matter which way he turns, fresh disasters
await. Still, in spite of everything, Bobby clings to the
hope that a happy ending might still be possible. This is
the movie business, right? Based on the Movie is a
laugh-out-loud look at what actually happens on a film
location, told from the perspective of the hardworking --
and long-suffering -- men and women behind the scenes. As
real life meets reel life, prepare to be captivated by one
of the most entertaining reads of the season.
