Review:
I've never heard of In a World, but I'm glad I had an opportunity to watch it. The film is definitely one of the many, many, many independent gems that are out here which never get any publicity or acknowledgement. Surrounded by a theme of the voice-over industry, the film's plot is rather simple, but definitely is given it's due for the comedic dry humor that fills the film.
The acting is rather superb, especially Lake Bell. Also, the random sightings of Eva Longoria, Cameron Diaz, and Nick Offerman in the role of Heners is entertaining. Especially Offerman without a mustache, which is just so weird.
All in all, In a World is a decent watch that is thoroughly entertaining, especially for a 90-minute run time.
Grade: 3/5
