This film weaves multiple stories to create a witty look at love, family, and the sheer unpredictability of life itself. Tom Arnold, Jesse Bradford, Bobby Cannavale, Steve Coogan, Laura Dern, Lisa Kudrow, Jason Ritter, and Maggie Gyllenhaal star. Extras include director's commentary, making of featurette, deleted scenes, outtakes, montage, trailers, and more.

This comedic drama from writer-director Don Roos (THE OPPOSITE OF SEX) comes packed with many unusual themes including abortion, homosexual parenting, teenage pregnancy, marrying for green cards, and the unscrupulous practice of bringing a client to orgasm at the conclusion of a massage (the "happy ending" referenced in the title). Lisa Kudrow plays the recipient of one such massage, and she later makes a video about her masseur/lover--who says he has information about a son she gave up for adoption years earlier. Meanwhile, her gay brother (Steve Coogan) suspects that his boyfriend may have given sperm to a lesbian couple (Laura Dern and Sarah Clarke) to help them have a daughter. Another thread of this intricately woven plot concerns a sexual libertine (Maggie Gyllenhaal) who seduces both a rich widower (Tom Arnold) and his closeted gay son (Jason Ritter). Amazingly, it is Arnold who manages to stand out among the ensemble cast with an endearingly vulnerable performance that lingers in the mind long after the film is over. With onscreen pop-ups relaying information about both the past and the future of the characters, the acting and the script are uniformly first-rate. Tracks by Calexico and Kid Loco comprise a lot of the great soundtrack, and Gyllenhaal's real singing voice is heard during her character's several torchy numbers.

In Theaters: JULY 15, 2005

Happy Endings Reviews:

"With her well-honed comedic timing, Kudrow does a fine job as someone who was thrown off course at an early age....[Arnold's] performance is more nuanced than usual."-- Claudia Puig, USA Today

"[S]lyly subversive....Mr. Roos has a screwball director's sense of timing and a writer's love for the well-turned phrase." -- Manohla Dargis, New York Times

"[A] rare American movie with the edge and wisdom of the best foreign films....The movie gradually deepens as Roos interweaves multiple plot strands and a large cast of characters." -- Stacey Farber, Movieline's Hollywood Life

David Lynch strikes again with this literal nightmare of a motion picture--a brilliant, scathing, hysterical, and haunting ode to Hollywood. In the film, a mysterious dark-haired woman (Laura Elena Harring) emerges from an accident with a purse full of cash and a head full of amnesia. Meanwhile, Betty Elms (Naomi Watts), a wide-eyed gal from Deep River, Ontario, has just landed in Los Angeles with dreams of movie super stardom. When Betty finds the nameless beauty in her aunt's apartment, she is deeply intrigued by the situation and offers to help her. This sends the two women on a bizarre search for the truth through the macabre, sun-soaked streets of the City of Angels, where the mob, a ...

Nick Stahl stars in this indie gay film as the deeply strung-out teenage Dodge, who lives in a dilapidated dormitory for hustlers, and drifts in a heroine-addicted haze through the coffee shops and darkened streets of Montreal. Reporting to an angry and abusive pimp, he is constantly afraid of being caught without a john, though that doesn't stop him from slacking off on the job. Fed up with working night after night, he stumbles upon Oliver (Joshua Close), a beautiful orphan in need of shelter, food, and work. While easing Oliver into his seedy world of prostitution and drugs, Dodge undergoes a period of self-realization. Perhaps it is the utter corruption surrounding him, or the lack of any forgiving figures in his life, but the harder Dodge tries to get a break from his cold, hard life, the worse it gets. Even a meeting with his own brother, who comes to Dodge intending to apologize for their damaging childhood and cruel father, ends in violence. A loose adaptation of the Charles Dickens classic OLIVER TWIST, this Canadian picture from Jacob Tierney is powerful in its relentlessly depressing drudgery. A calmly lucid re-telling ...

Stuck in a rather dull and predictable suburban existence, Cliff (Andre Noble) has never ventured to explore his burgeoning homosexuality. For his 18th birthday, his precocious 12-year-old sister (Haylee Wanstall) gives him a bottle of booze and a joint, and instructs him to put an end to his virginity. Cliff, all too happy to take her up on the challenge, ends up cruising the downtown red light district where prostitution and other nefarious activities seem to be an exotic and adventurous new world. He falls in love with Butch (Brendan Fehr), a sexy and sympathetic ...

An historical drama based on the true story of a homosexual love affair in South Africa during the 18th Century, PROTEUS unfolds within the confines of a Cape Town penal colony. Rijkhaart Jacobsz (Neil Sandilands) is a Dutch sailor who has been locked up for violating the strict laws against homosexuality, which at the time treated it as a crime worse than murder. Khoi herder Claas Blank (Rouxnet Brown) is a member of the lowest caste; cleared of his charges, he is nonetheless being forced to serve a 10-year sentence just for being arrested. Despite the strong taboos regarding interracial relationships, the two had an affair that spanned 10 years, but it was eventually discovered, and they were placed on trial. The film--a collaboration ...

For his third feature film, British director Sam Mendes (AMERICAN BEAUTY) turns to the pages of Anthony Swofford's 2003 book on his experiences in the first Gulf War, and enlists William Broyles Jr.--a former Lieutenant who fought in Vietnam--to convert it into a screenplay. Mendes's film strays into FULL METAL JACKET territory as it opens, with young recruit Swofford (Jake Gyllenhaal) undertaking some rigorous basic training under the steely, watchful eye of Staff Sgt. Sykes (Jamie Foxx). Impressed, Sykes invites Swofford to join his team, and partners him with Troy (Peter Sarsgaard), ultimately taking them to Saudi Arabia to fight in the first Gulf War. But once they arrive in the punishing heat of the desert, the long wait for battle sends many of the Marines dangerously close to the brink of insanity. Drawing on the experience of acclaimed cinematographer Roger Deakins (THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION) to help viewers get a close-up taste of the Marines' punishing life in the desert, Mendes's film enters into deeply unsettling territory, the likes of which many cinemagoers won't have experienced since Martin Sheen lost his tenuous ...
