...Angeles and several of them had Midwest ties. So we put together this four-city tour that could bring the contributors to the book onto stage, reading their pieces and performing their pieces. And it just was a very organic idea that happened to be kind of the perfect storm, because there was also the writer’s strike going on.

McAvoy is a wonderful leading man and Catherine O’Hara is perfect as an overbearing mom. Another actor, Simon Woods, pops off the screen as Edward, an utterly repulsive upper-class twit.
