The thing this film has going for it is a great hook - the main plot has such a smart take (SPOiler ****** SPOILER **** SPOILER)
ON the whole group therapy scene and how the lead character uses it to keep tabs on an ex-boyfriend of his current girlfriend (who he is very jealous about). Eric Stoltz (who is capable of good work: Mask, Pulp Fiction and lame, sleepwalking work: Killing Zoe, many others) is strong in the title role and gets great support from the rest of the cast especially from Chris Eigeman who gives a three dimensional performance as the successful writer/ex-boyfriend. Smartly written, my only problem with the film is the unfocused, rambling beginning. The movie doesnt really click until the first therapy session - then it just keeps rolling along into uncomfortable, delightful comedy.
