Consider that DreamWorks, which plans to make movies, TV shows, records, toys and computer software, has no film studio or recording studio, no products--indeed, no pedigree but its owners' resumes. No problem either, for Spielberg is the director of Jaws, E.T. and Jurassic Park; Katzenberg supervised the glorious revival of animated features while at the Walt Disney Co.; and Geffen has made stars of the Eagles, Guns N' Roses and Nirvana on records, Tom Cruise in movies and some singing cats on Broadway.

We know the props: shrink jokes, sexual put-downs, etc. Debra Monk is Phyllis, a psychotherapist who, having discovered that her husband Sam (Guilfoyle) is unfaithful, seeks solace from her friend Carol (Lavin). Or so it seems. Turns out that Phyllis isn't looking for comfort but revenge: she suspects it is Carol her husband has been sleeping with. Carol counters by announcing that she and Sam, desperately in love, will be moving to London...
