Reactions and Reviews

One out of five stars. Failed for me on it's central premise - Sam leaps into a famous producer to make sure a significant film gets made with all the proper people involved to further their careers. He knows who to cast and contract because he and Al remember the picture. Sharon breaks what is probably the only rule of Quantum Leaping left that the show *hasn't* broken. The whole situation is set around Sam fulfilling known history instead of making a change. The side plot of Sam being distracted by memories of a previous leap was more interesting.
