Jennifer Aniston stars as
Justine, a woman who is feeling constrained by her life. Her husband,
Phil (
John C. Reilly), is a house painter who spends the majority of his time smoking marijuana with his friend
Bubba (
Tim Blake Nelson). Longing for something more in her life,
Justine becomes involved with a younger co-worker named
Tom (
Jake Gyllenhall), but because of his fascination with
The Catcher in the Rye, he likes to be called
Holden. Her new sense of freedom and release are threatened when a co-worker dies, and when
Bubba learns of her infidelity. This film was screened at
the 2002 Sundance Film Festival.
