my big problem with this film be garry shandling . one have to ask why they cast him in the lead role . he be not handsome and endear or charm at all . to be honest he be annoy and a mediocre actor at best . i have to wonder why annette bening character even look twice at him . the film be interest in an odd way . it be truly original . but it lose steam and could have be much well with a good screenplay and a good lead actor . it a shame .
