An Altman-style comedy drama about isolation and rage with a gun control message? Sounds great, but sadly this cinema-bypassing release doesn't work. Tempers escalate for the disparate characters, among them wife Joan Allen, who leaves her pathologically jealous husband Jeff Daniels and gets a job as secretary to a child-like billionaire computer mogul (Gary Sinise). Mean-while, volatile David Schwimmer tries to deal with his gay lover's hetero fling with a young kleptomaniac. Sooner or later they get guns...
DVD Extras:
Behind-the-scenes featurette, director's commentary, trailer, filmographies.Director James D Stern's attempt to mix off-the-wall comedy with a serious theme was always a risk, and it's spoiled further by Sinise's paranoid whizzkid. It was a wonderful experience for cast and crew though, as the featurette is eager to tell you.
