Bart gets upset that Milhouse got the part for Fallout Boy, but Lisa tells him that he is still needed as Milhouse's friend and confidant, and Bart accepts this new role. But Milhouse finds his own job intolerable and disappears, right during the filming of the most expensive scene in the movie. The film is suspended, and the townspeople search for Milhouse. Eventually, Bart finds him in his treehouse, and despite encouragement from Bart and Mickey Rooney to continue acting, Milhouse gives up on his acting career. With the film now cancelled and the producers bankrupt, the directors return to Hollywood.
My thoughts:
How many times have I watched it: Just once, last night actually.
Chalkboard Gag: Bewitched does not promote Satanism. Don't get it, but a bit funny. (B-)
Couch Gag: The couch ejects a sheet of paper with a picture of the family, which then floats up into the air, before sliding beneath the couch. Cool. (B+)
Storyline: This episode sort of took a shot of some aspects of movie industry and the entertainment. The plot was going good to okay in the first two acts, but it fell apart with Mickey Rooney in the end. I think they could've went with a better alternative. In the humor department, gags were great and "My eyes, the goggles do nothing!" was funny, and fake Milhouse blowing up and Bart's reaction was priceless. The part I liked the most was this:
Oh Homer.
Overall, the plot was fine, there were some funny scenes, but got boring near the beginning of Act 3. I enjoyed Milhouse acting in a movie.
My Grade: B
