Judy Reyes and Sam Rockwell are amazing in this film. There are some very sexy moments. And some very funny moments with Sam/Judy and also I love the introduction of the pretentious "friends" the psychiatrist and his lesbian wife....played artfully by 2 actors. As stated before, the leading role is weak. very weak. But somehow even that works. Because Jack is just so pathetic and clueless and we are supposed to despise him and everyone who chooses to delude themselves and live in pain. But he changes in positive ways.
This film is interesting. It calls into question all the comfy suburban fluff most people call their lives. I think this is why Sam Rockwell was drawn to the role (which is not too challenging for him as an actor) OH OH you have to see the scene where he and Judy Reyes are having dinner with Jack and totally ripping his fake, horrible life apart in front of his eyes, it's done in a hilarious way, it's not as mean spirited as it sounds.
