Insomniac Peter McGowan (Kenneth Branagh) is a once successful playwright who has now had 10 years of failure on stage. His wife Melanie (Robin Wright Penn) wants a child but Peter doesn't. His mother-in-law Edna (Lynn Redgrave), who lives with them, is slipping into senility. His neighbor's dog barks constantly keeping him from sleeping well. He has a new neighbor with a little girl, Amy (Suzi Hofrichter) who Melanie feels can change Peter's resistence to having a child. To top it all off, Peter has a doppelganger (Jared Harris) roaming the neighborhood and causing Peter much grief.
This is a smart and quirky comedy for adults with highs and lows that, by the end, leave a rather satisfied feeling.
Peter Riegert and Peri Gilpin also appear.
Written and directed by Michael Kalesniko.
Rated R for language.
My personal rating: B
