Human beings and their faults in relationships with coincidences?, 1 September 2003
8/10
Author: mifunesamurai from Australia

The lives of a has-been-actress, a charming sleazy plumber, a bored housewife and a stressed corporate head intertwined in this low key screwball. If made by studio heads this film would have been hard to swallow, but when handled by the maestro, Alan Rudolph, and starring real actors, it works a treat.
