Hollywood Ending

Hollywood Ending (2002) is a Woody Allen comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Val Waxman once held two Oscars; now he shoots deodorant commercials in the snow and still insists he's a misunderstood genius.

Then a real job lands in his lap — a big studio picture, his comeback. The catch: the producer is his ex-wife Ellie, who left him for the studio chief. The pressure cracks him open, and days before shooting Val goes psychosomatically blind. He simply can't see. Admitting it means ruin, so he directs the entire movie sightless, leaning on a Chinese translator, his loyal agent, and Ellie, who slowly starts to suspect the truth.

Nobody plays a flailing neurotic like Allen, and here his real target is Hollywood itself — an industry that can't tell a masterpiece from a disaster. Téa Leoni grounds the chaos as Ellie, the one adult in the room. The running gag, where a blind man's botched film gets hailed as art by French critics, lands with a real sting. This is light, talky, unmistakably New York Allen. Stream Hollywood Ending (2002) online on iFILM.
