About the film
Getting fired by Woody Allen was just the beginning for actress Annabelle Gurwitch, who Barbara Ehrenreich says "transformed her misery into a hot and sour chicken soup for the laid off soul." Trying to cope with being fired by a cultural icon, Gurwitch discovered she wasn't alone and brings us side-splitting tales of being fired from Tim Allen, Felicity Huffman, Jeff Garlin and more, as well as the less-humorous aspects of job insecurity that include attending job fairs, career retraining classes, outplacement workshops and meeting with human resource directors.
