In A World

Very cool smart indie comedy about people who do trailer voiceovers in Hollywood.   It has some laugh out moments and a decent story.  It is about a girl who does voices. She is played by Lake Bell. She's trying to make a career out of it. Her dad happens to be a legend among the Hollywood trailer world but that doesn't help her compete in a field dominated by men.  She gets a break when another famous voiceover guy gets sick and she happens to be there at the right moment to replace him.  Boom! She is a hit. Hollywood is coming up with a big quadrilogy epic movie called The Amazon Games. They're looking for the right person to be the voice for the trailers. Our main lead is one of the top candidates as well as her dad. The competition begins. Love the supporting characters in this.  This is a clever straight up movie that has the "girl power" theme to it.  In a way, it makes fun of the system and how Hollywood voiceovers are done.  It was cool to see a cameo by Eva Longoria who makes fun of herself in this.   
I would recommend this movie if you're looking for a nice comedy.  Maybe even worth buying.
