The new film features partner swapping, late-night screaming and a child who sleeps in his own dried urine because the mother (Laura Dern)--a woman with whom Evans has an affair--is so distracted by her gin and her suffering that she forgets to change the sheets...

"We're the fastest-growing everything," the mayor says in his office, flipping through the endless escort section of the phone book. "We may as well be the fastest-growing escort service." His city is growing so quickly that an Internal Revenue Service building is being constructed downtown right near his office. "We'll be able to tax the IRS," he says, "which...
