Lake Bell wrote, directed, and starred in a film about breaking through the glass ceiling in the entertainment industry. Specifically, the male dominated world of movie trailer voice-over acting. As the lead, Bell is smart, funny, and wonderfully insecure as the daughter of a voice-over legend struggling to find her own voice work, and living in his shadow. She cast actual voice-over legend, Fred Malamed, as her misogynist father, and he knocks it out of the park. He is smarmy, condescending, and dating a woman his daughter's age. The ensemble, featuring names like Dimitri Martin and Rob Corddry, makes Lake Bell's script come to life with hilarious aplomb. She has a great voice, literally and figuratively, and for 90 minutes, it was more than exciting to hear it.
