Ben Hood (Kevin Kline) is having a fruitless tryst with Janey Carver (Sigourney Weaver), while Ben's wife Elena (Joan Allen) screams silently, so as not to wake the kids, and Janey's husband Jim (Jamey Sheridan) has so little impact on his brood that when he calls out a cheery, "I'm back," his son Mikey (Elijah Wood) replies, "You were gone...
