This is one of those movies that you will find either really sharp and cutting edge, or it might just annoy you. I found it very entertaining, with great performances from an ensemble cast.

To lieu of a narrator, it uses sidebar-like title cards to explain the characters' motivations and move the plot along. The first card explains, "It's a comedy, sort of." The film intertwines the stories of ten different characters and their loves and lives.

The anchor is Mamie (Lisa Kudrow), an abortion clinic counselor who is being blackmailed by a documentary filmmaker (Jesse Bradford, Eulogy) threatening to reveal that she gave a child up for adoption when she was a teenager. That pregnancy was with her stepbrother Charley (Steve Coogan), who is gay.

Charley lives with his partner Gil (David Sutcliffe, Under the Tuscan Sun, Half Baked), who is best friends with Pam (Laura Dern, Dr T and the Women, Bastard Out of Carolina, Citizen Ruth, "Ellen") and Diane (Sarah Clarke), a lesbian couple. Charley believes that their son was conceived with Gil's sperm and they are concealing that fact so that parenting doesn't have to be shared.

Gil and Charley run a restaurant where Otis (Jason Ritter) and Jude (Maggie Gyllenhaal, Mona Lisa Smile) are members of a band that often plays there. Otis is gay but in the closet. Jude gets together with Otis' father Frank (Tom Arnold).

There's a lot going on, and the outcomes of their secrets are unpredictable. Will any of them find a happy ending? And did Pam really steal Gil's sperm?
