What happens

I'll Do Anything is a 1994 American comedy-drama film written and directed by James L. Brooks. While a large part of the film is a satire of the film industry, it also skewers relationships from various angles. Its primary plot concerns a down-on-his-luck actor who suddenly finds himself the sole caretaker of his six-year-old daughter. The film starred Nick Nolte and Whittni Wright in her film debut, with supporting roles filled by Albert Brooks, Julie Kavner, Joely Richardson and Tracey Ullman. I'll Do Anything was released by Columbia Pictures on February 4, 1994. The film received mixed to positive reviews from critics but was a box office bomb as it grossed $10 million against a $40 million budget. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
