Starring AUSTRALIAN Radha Mitchell this is literally tragi-comic.
It opens on a rainy New York with 4 people having dinner and discussing the nature of the human condition. This knowledge will not spoil things for you. 2 of the people are writers. One of the others suggests a scenario and asks if its tragic or comic. The film tells both versions as the writers work out their plot lines.
Enter Melinda...
I like this film, it keeps you entertained and makes you keep thinking as the stories intersect to both tragic and comic effect.
I will give you a couple of lines of dialogue... "I'm sorry, I'm feeling funny, I took some sleeping pills" "How many?" "28".
It rambles as much as a 4 person, 5 bottles of wine evening will as conversation meanders and darts and you try to figure out the truth... whatever that may be in a world where everyone talks like Woody Allen.
I've now seen it 3 times and I still have to pay attention as the quite possibly demented Melinda weaves her spell...
Follow Ups:
more than most of WA's recent films but one thing that struck me was Will Ferrell's lines... they were identical, in nature and mannerisms, to things Woody has said in many of his films, so much so that it was a little distracting for me. Overall an enjoyable and lighthearted romp.

as it had better acting and was, for me, more thought provoking (at least about the nature of relationships).I'm a big Radha Mitchell fan. Hottie!!
Don't piss on my shoe and tell me it's raining.
... the Australian soap.
Like Kylie. Jason Donovan, Guy Pierce, Alan Dale, Mark Little, Natalie Imbruglia...
should have garnered him a few top actor awards.
... who seemed to take too many under-quality roles after Momento. In fact I haven't thought he did himself much justice until... The Proposition(?) although I am happy to acknowledge actors have to pay the bills like the rest of us and can only choose between what is offered.
I think that 5 episode a week daytime soaps are actually a good schooling for actors as they have to more or less turn up and DO IT every day, not much time for prevarication and that discipline is probably a good thing to learn.
