Man of the Century
This charming indie hit takes you on a rollicking ride with Johnny Twennies, an ace reporter who's stuck in the 1920s and blissfully unaware that he's out of place in modern Manhattan. His girlfriend's fed up because he hasn't kissed her, his boss wants him canned, and the mob wants him rubbed out because he knows too much. Can Johnny get the crime scoopthe girl while staying alive?

A fish in water - bartonfink
The filmmakers take a decent fish out of water concept; the reporter with the 20s mentality in the world of the 90s; and drown it with supporting characters that are by and large also from the 20s, music from the 20s and an almost complete aesthetic from the 20s.
Where's the comedy in that? I kept watching with the hope that this might get better, but believe me it only gets worse.
