The lives of three depressed, needy people intersect in this mediation on loneliness and relationships. While this might sound like a complete downer, it's only a partial one. All play to their established personalities, but the material forces them all to dig deeper. DeVito, in particular, is very good as a divorced father, who's daughter has recently died. What fails us is the story, which never really gives the trio much to do outside the confines of the worlds they inhabit.
Nobody really breaks free, until the end, which seems very forced.
The pace is breezy and the mood always lush. You care about these people, but you sort of know that it will all work out in the end.
