Not able to overcome the comedic hump that is the small dingy venues, Norton finds himself gathering more raw materials from prostitutes on the streets of New York City, rather than living the high life in Hollywood.
This is a fun dramatic story that lets the audience laugh and cry with Janie and her friends, but fails to deliver in the way of explaining the characters actions through the analysis of human nature.

Installation art Installation art describes an artistic genre of three-dimensional works that are often site-specific and designed to transform a viewer's perception of a space. Generally, the term is applied to interior spaces, whereas exterior interventions are often called Land art; however the boundaries between these terms overlap.
