30 Second Bottom Line: A couple whose marriage is on the rocks because of their inability to have sex, seeks marriage counseling only to find that they get much more than they bargained for.

Story Line: Melinda and Dan (Melora Walters and Jay Mohr) are a dysfunctional couple with him needing Viagra with her but not with a waitress that he is banging. As some will tell you, the biggest sex organ is between your ears. The film starts out with shrink Dr. Roger Klink (James Spader) breaking into a motel room where Melinda and Dan are "getting reaquatinted" after becoming jealous because of his emotional bond due to the affair he is having with Melinda.

Skirting appropriateness relationships with their patients, Melinda and Dan get at best questionable counseling from Connie (Catherine O'Hara), Dr. Klink and Dr. Paige (Lara Flynn Boyle) who each have their own agendas. Getting all of the relationships straight is a laugh a minute and it's fun to see Boyle yucking it up and having fun in something other than the serious TV show, The Practice..

Tell Me More About It: This is a whacked out comedy that is pure fun with it's over the top performance by Lara Flynn Boyle. Bill Murray is the best I've ever seen him. Melora Walters who was intensely serious in Magnolia, is equally focused here, but with the emphasis on comedy.

The sex is sexy without the intensity of a film like Intimacy. What you see there is only hinted at here, which for the majority of folks is the right amount of on screen sex.

Films like this are what Hollywood tends to do best. It's all about fun, you like the ending, there is nothing too serious, the focus is on entertainment and the events themselves are not hooky with improbable action that you are asked to take seriously. It's a screwball comedy that is a hoot, which reminds me of The Closet, but you don't have to read any subtitles. Go see this and have a blast……..
