All of the characters are well-cast. Wayne Knight is always perfect. Illeana Douglas plays a perfect concerned/skeptical sister to Matt Dillon's dolt- husband to Kidman. Categorically implausible but fun to watch dark comedy. <p> <hr width=15% align=left><p><table><tr><td><img src="/rarrow.gif"></td><td>Have you seen this film?
