Hit and Runaway

"The commentary track on the DVD of Hit and Runway is nearly as funny as the movie as writer/director Christopher Livingston and writer Jaffe Cohen remarks on the making of the movie. It's good to hear them chat, because all the while you are watching the movie about a straight-gay screenwriting team you're wondering how much of it was based on reality. There are long stretches during which they don't say much, which is a problem because the film's dialogue can't be heard when the ""Commentary"" button is pushed, so when they say, ""This is my favorite line,"" you'd better be a lip-reader. The digital transfer makes the most of the low-budget lighting and filmstock, but it's rough-hewn appearance doesn't distract."
