  • Get Bruce!
  • Superstars Billy Crystal, Whoopi Goldberg, and Bette Midler are just some of the big names who laugh it up in this richly funny behind-the-scenes look at the art of creating comedy! When celebrities need a hilarious punchline, they GET BRUCE! -- Bruce Vilanch, the comic writer behind Hollywood's biggest events! As the writer of the Oscars(R), the Emmys, and the Grammys award shows, laugh master Bruce is not only Hollywood's most wanted man, but he's been its best-kept secret ... until now! Featuring outrageous on-screen moments with Roseanne, Lily Tomlin, Paul Reiser, and many more, this fun film is your all-access pass to Tinseltown's most glittering nights ... with the man who keeps everyone looking like a star!

    Vilanch's ebullient manner is obviously a big reason why everyone wants, to borrow the film's title, to get Bruce.

    The combination of Vilanch wit and celeb sightings should keep moviegoers satisfied.
