Starring: Lake Bell, Fred Melamed, Ken Marino
Following the death of movie trailer voiceover legend, Don LaFontaine (himself), the spot for being the biggest name in the industry is up for grabs. Vocal coach and aspiring voiceover artist, Carol Solomon wants to start narrating trailers, but her father, the legendary Sam Soto (Melamed), who doesn't believe in her.
Lake Bell writes, produces and stars in this comedy and aside from the occasional problem, In A World...is entertaining fare. The film operates on an amusing and original premise built a little on reality (voiceover artist Don LaFontaine was a genuine person and the phrase "In a world..." was associated with the trailers he worked on. Beyond that, however, the story is a amusing and fun but plays around with a sub-plot when the primary storyline should've deserved all the focus.The film has a nice cast with Lake Bell making a likeable lead and Sam Melamed as her sexist jerk
of a father deals well with a role that could've been overplayed so easily. The screenplay is the weakest point and needed streamlining and whilst it's also short on belly-laughs, In A World...is still a fairly amusing romp.
Next time, Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne continue to be menaced by the supernatural in Insidious: Chapter 2.
