Description: Hollywood Ending is a movie starring Woody Allen, Téa Leoni, and Bob Dorian. A director is forced to work with his ex-wife, who left him for the boss of the studio bankrolling his new film. But the night before the first day of...

Plot: Val Waxman is a once prestigious film director lately reduced to overseeing cheesy television commercials in order to pay his bills and support his current live-in girlfriend, Lori. When he is thrown off his latest effort (a deodorant commercial being filmed in the frozen north), he desperately seeks a real movie project. Out of the blue, Val receives an offer to direct a big-budget blockbuster movie to be set in New York City. However, the offer comes from his former wife, Ellie, and her boyfriend, Hal, who stole her from Val. Pushed by his agent Al Hack, Val agrees to the project, but a psychosomatic ailment strikes him blind just before production is to begin. With Al's encouragement and aid, Val keeps his blindness a secret from the cast and studio head. The movie plays out with an aging director struggling to regain his vision, both literally and metaphorically. During filming, Val rekindles his relationship with Ellie and reconnects with his estranged son, Tony. When Val regains what had been missing his life, he regains sight as well. In the end, Val's project costs $60 million—and flops. Nevertheless, Val enjoys a "Hollywood ending" of his own—his movie is a hit in France. After winning Ellie back, he happily proclaims, "Thank God the French exist."
