The Anniversary Party

I can tell you the whole reason why SL and I rented this in three words: Jennifer Jason Leigh. (Obviously my doing, not hers.) Not only does Leigh star in this one, but she also co-wrote/directed it, too...anyway, it's clearly her baby and that of the other central creative figure in/behind the film, one Alan Cumming. All of that said, I thought it was only so-so - an ensemble drama-comedy full of Hollywood types (Parker Posey, Kevin Kline, John C Reilly, Gwyneth Paltrow, and others familiar by face if not always by name), about Hollywood types, that never properly gets beyond its obvious 'write about what you know' origins.
