Publisher's Synopsis
Todd Solondz' critically acclaimed drama focuses upon the isolation and alienation of five individuals in the New Jersey suburbs. Joy (Jane Adams) is thirty years old and about to split up with her boyfriend Andy (Jon Lovitz). Alan (Phillip Seymour Hoffman) is an overweight loner who is obsessively besotted with Helen (Lara Flynn Boyle), but is unable to confront her directly and instead bombards her with obscene phone calls. Allen confesses his woes to his psychiatrist Bill (Dylan Baker), but still struggles to deal with the reality of the situation.
