Synopsis: After a brief separation, a couple decides to reunite and throw a wedding anniversary party; he is a novelist and first-time-film-director-to-be; she is a film actress. They invite their closest friends, plus their neighbors, and a young actress.
Appraisal: Of course, this party will be the occasion for infidelities, secrets revealed, awkward moments, and a parade of characters with wildly varying personalities, some of them bordering on the bizarre. Since most of the characters are related to the movie industry, the actors are well at ease in their parts. The two screenwriters/directors must have used their inside knowledge of Hollywood life in this film, which gives a ring of truth to some parts of it. The big problem is that the script doesn't fully explore its promising premise, either as drama or as comedy; it lacks imagination and has too many predictable or boring situations.
