In A World

Lake Bell's In A World (US, 2013) - To call Lake Bell a magnetic, intelligent, blithely screwball leading lady in the Carole Lombard tradition might be selling her short. With "In a World … ," a rollicking laffer about the cutthroat voiceover biz in Los Angeles, she proves herself a comedy screenwriter to be reckoned with. She's also a curator of talent that makes her debut feature a giddy, inside-Hollywood romp. Star power is limited -- Bell and casting director John Papsidera have put together an A-team of supporting thesps -- but word of mouth can only help a film with too many laugh lines to be absorbed in one sitting. 2013SUN. RATING: 7
