Granted,Maps to the Starsis far from a Hollywood production, despite its across-the-board A-list talent.

Unfortunately, thats also just the first 15 minutes, and from there things start to getreallynasty.

Havana covets playing the same role as her mother, a fixation likely exacerbated by her opportunistic therapist.

But for this picture, it really is like being on a tour bus to the stars.
