Plot

Another in a string of interconnected characters/plot flicks that have been coming from the Art House genre, this one is actually quite good. To try and explain the plot would be futile and too revelatory but I will say that our cast of characters includes a committed gay boyfriend played wonderfully by Steve Coogan(!), a singer-seductress scene stealer part from Maggie Gyllenhaal and a very sweet, cash-for-brains father played by Tom Arnold. As well as Lisa Kudrow who serves a hub of sorts for all the characters. A well-written, interestingly observed gem of a comedy from Don Roos...with a killer opening scene that made me seriously smile. Enjoy!
