but despite wonderful performances by the entire ensemble cast, this is Jennifer Jason Leigh's movie and she makes of the most of it. She plays a former star actress hitting her 40s and has to come to grips with that and what everyone assumes is her very late pregnancy at her anniversary party. Her husband Cumming is a now famous British author with a best seller on his hands and a married couple living next door who can't stand his dog.
The story is predictable but notable for the very fine performances by all and the fact that this was shot on digital video but none but the very trained eye could point that out. Special kudos to Cates and Beals who definitely need to be seen more often and add another hurrah for Leigh and Cumming's writing abilities. Well worth watching.
