Sure, we love the cinema for its great "auteurs," its glorious faces, and its daring images. But in this tabloid age where big stars go on Oprah and make such spectacles of themselves, what we really love is all that dish! The Little Dog Laughed follows the adventures of Mitchell Green, a movie star who could make it big if it weren't for one teensy-weensy problem-his hard-driving agent, Diane, can't seem to keep him in the closet. Trying to help him navigate Hollywood's choppy waters, the devilish Diane is doing all she can to keep Mitchell away from the cute rent boy who's caught his eye... and the rent boy's girlfriend! (Wait... the rent boy has a girlfriend???) Will there be a happy ending when the final credits roll?

A comedy by Douglas Carter Beane
Directed by Michael Baron
