7:00 pm Kendall Square Cinema Actor William H. Macy shows his leading man and screenwriter chops in this riotous Hollywood send-up. A serious script about the life of Jewish British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli morphs into an action flick with an African American star (LL Cool J) recently converted to Judaism. Macy plays a cynical producer. Meg Ryan as a studio “suit” is Hepburn to his Tracy. Also starring Jason Ritter, and, as an unforgettable Hollywood rabbi, Elliott Gould.
