Remember the movie Good Will Hunting? It was written by Matt Damon and Ben Afleck, who also appeared in it. But what was it like to write the screenplay. This is the premise that Mindy Kaling and Brenda Withers started from. Of course they decided that Matt & Ben were writing a screen version of Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger until Good Will Hunting hit them (literally). Katie Chapman directs this comedy with her usual wit.

"A deftly comic take on celebrity, friendship, creativity and pizza-fueled apartment life"
NEWSDAY


"The hottest ticket in town. A twisted tale about how Matt Damon and Ben Affleck wrote the Oscar-winning movie Good Will Hunting!" US WEEKLY


"A Hit! Acidic, funny and affectionate! Matt & Ben spoofs Hollywood's best friendship!"
NEW YORK POST


"One of the most appealing male-bonding stories since Damon and Pythias, or Oscar and Felix. And within minutes, you don't even notice that they're not males."
