Though NYC novelist Beth (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) struggled with her second book, and therapist husband Don (Tobias Menzies) scuffled with his practice, their codependent home life kept it's equilibrium. That changed after Beth happened to overhear how unimpressed her spouse was with her current opus-and left both questioning career and couplehood. Nicole Holofcener's wryly observational opus co-stars Owen Teague, Michaela Watkins, David Cross, Amber Tamblyn. 93 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack English.
