| Nice review for On Broadway, and in particular Eliza's performance Quote:
"On Broadway" is a more modest effort, but it's a warm, entertaining comedy on the order of "The Brothers McMullen." McIntyre gives a likable performance as Jack O'Toole, who stuns family and friends by declaring that he's going to write — and, later, present — a play about his late uncle. The emphasis here is not only on Jack following his dream, but on the family and friends, a community of Irish-Americans who, when push comes to show, are always there for each other.
Eliza Dushku ("Tru Calling") is especially good as the free spirit who becomes the lead actress in the play; the cast also includes Mike O'Malley ("Yes, Dear"), Will Arnett ("Arrested Development") and, in a small role, Amy Poehler ("Saturday Night Live").
