Blake Lively plays Carol Ferris, the love interest whose only role is to stand in front of the camera and make Peter Sarsgaard’s character jealous that Hal Jordan gets the girl for being a good...

Owen Wilson (Wedding Crashers, Bottle Rocket) plays the Woody Allen-esque charater Gil, a Hollywood hack screenwriter that...
