True story of an out-of-work author with writer's block in the 90s, who with the help of a loyal friend, forges letters of famous authors, based on her knowledge of their style. McCarthy again proves she's a force to be reckoned with (I dare you not laugh when she's laughing), and Grant comes out of the shadows to make a stance on his own. The film has its moments (is a "rejuvenating" life of crime worth living?), while the noteworthy material (e.g., the collector's mindset, the value of copy versus original) is sourly downgraded. Nominated for 3 Oscars? Really?
