A nice little comedy with Sam Rockwell and Michelle Monaghan playing opposite each other as a struggling married couple. Olivia Wilde enters and 'Bam!', Sam Rockwell all of the sudden turns into a man, wins a bike race, tries to kill Ray Liotta, and wakes up drunk, then stares at Jane Fonda with bleary eyes and tells her he can solve all of her problems.
