The movie overall was pretty good.It follows a middle aged screenwriter Byrdie (Kirstie Alley) who can't sell a pitch because of her age. She gets her 25 year old nephew to pitch her ideas instead. He becomes the next hottest thing, but turmoil ensues.

The main reason why the young man was her nephew was so that he was eliminated as a love interest. It was still odd that he lingered around the house and the very not aunt-like relationship they had. Kirstie's acting was brilliant, however, not everyone was as near as good. The storyline was a little bit predictable and didn't always catch my attention.

The movie was okay. Hopefully, Lifetime will air it again. It was quirky and it's nice to see Kirstie working. It is enjoyable and funny.

Much of the execution of this film is mediocre at best, but the story works, the acting is passable, and never once does the movie resort to least common denominators of sex or violence. Well, maybe a little implied sex early on, but nothing too raunchy. As a social commentary, Write and Wrong tackles a very real discrimination that plagues Hollywood. Age discrimination is clearly rampant in the acting world, but few are aware of its prominence in the writing world. Write and Wrong makes its audience aware of the issue without being bogged down in preachy overtones.

Definitely worth a watch on a low-key, mellow evening!

Television movies generally do not come any better than this. Kirstey Alley takes over from Judith Light in the role of queen of the TV movies, and in that role she is a highly entertaining actress. Her comedic skills are among the best, and she is also competent in dramatic scenes. Graeme Clifford is a very talented veteran director who is responsible for at least one of my favorite films, "Frances" (1982), starring Jessica Lange. It was less of a shock how good this film was when I realized he directed it. The writers were also on top of their game, with many tongue in cheek references to classic films that probably half of the audience will miss. It enriches the film, though.

The film is funny and there are moments when you will laugh out loud, or simply be enraged by how snobbish and ageist some of the 'suits' in the business are. In that respect, and in many others, this film is true to life. The representation of the job market, and how some employers fail to see the strengths in certain people, seemed accurate. The character development and performances were top notch, and the score was very nice.

Highly recommended!
