In this
Dogma 95-inspired first feature for acclaimed performers
Jennifer Jason Leigh and
Alan Cumming, the two star as Joe and Sally Therrian, a couple who have recently reconciled after a yearlong separation, and who decide to throw a sixth anniversary party in their honor. They invite a bevy of Hollywood types, including Skye Davidson (
Gwyneth Paltrow), a young, beautiful, Ecstasy-pushing actress appointed to play a character based on
Sally in the new feature film based on Joe's successful novel. Also featured are Cal and Sophia Gold (played by real-life marrieds
Kevin Kline and
Phoebe Cates), the former a co-star of Sally's and the latter her best friend who has given up the business to raise a family; Mac (
John C. Reilly), the director of the new film and his actress wife Clair (
Jane Adams), who has continued working after the recent birth of their child; Judy and Jerry Adams (
Parker Posey and
John Benjamin Hickey), the Therrians' managers; and Gina (
Jennifer Beals), Joe's ex-girlfriend, who is often regarded as his first big love. Things are complicated when their contentious neighbors (
Mina Badie and
Denis O'Hare) make an appearance, and a mystery gift causes the event to unravel over the course of one long evening. The film was also written by
Cumming and
Leigh, another first for both actors.
