...self-sufficient Hollywood screenwriter. Her soft-touch sister Joy (Shirley Henderson) keeps getting visits from dead boyfriends (including ex-Pee-wee Herman Paul Reubens). And Trish (Alison Janney), whose convicted pedophile husband (Ciaran Hinds) is about to be released from jail, has found a new beau, the solid, stolid Harvey (Michael Lerner), whose touch makes her "feel wet, all over."

...What's an iguana doing on my coffee table?" wonders Nicolas Cage as Lt. Terence McDonagh in this dark, daft, vagrantly intoxicating melodrama. It's a sequel of sorts to Abel Ferrara's 1992 Bad Lieutenant, which starred Harvey Keitel as a nameless, coke-addled sadist who has visions of Jesus.

...Harvey Cox, who recently retired as the Hollis Professor of Divinity, the oldest endowed chair in America, decided to exercise the traditional grazing rights that originally came with that position. As I watched Professor Cox and the Jersey cow named Faith reenact this venerable, and now slightly amusing, tradition from a window in University Hall, it seemed that he had provided the perfect metaphor for the purpose of the endowment...
