...imagine Steven de Souza or some other Hollywood scribe hearing of "A Number" and drooling over the exploitation possibilities. But Churchill is less interested in the garish colors of melodrama than the shadings of personality. In Salter, the joy of early parenthood turns bitter and abusive when his wife killed herself and he is left with dreams of killing his own son by reproducing him. In the nice Bernard, revelation upends an ordinary life: however hard it is to learn you were adopted, it must be - given the double-time march of science it certainly will be - harder to learn...

Along with an incredibly funny screenplay by Mike White (the cutting-edge scribe of the critically-acclaimed independent film Chuck & Buck), the film boasts an all-star cast, filled to the brim with comedic heavyweights. Catherine O’Hara (Home Alone) plays Shaun’s emotional unstable and marginally alcoholic mother; John Lithgow (Terms of Endearment) plays Shaun’s disapproving and unaffectionate father; and Lily Tomlin (Tea With Mussolini...
