James Franco, Jon Hamm, Mary-Louise Parker, Jeff Daniels, David Strathairn, Treat Williams, Bob Balaban -- The biography of "Beat Generation" poet Allen Ginsberg, and the time that his work, "Howl", was on trial for being for being obscene. Jon Hamm played the defense lawyer, David Strathairn was the prosecuting attorney, and Bob Balaban was the judge. All whole bunch of famous people played the witnesses. I would have turned it off after a half an hour but there were so many famous people that I kept on watching it. I now know all there is to know (unfortunately) about Allen Ginsberg. I would rate it 2 1/4 out of 5 stars. (2010 - R)
