A depressed and depressing lawyer gets flowers from a secret admirer.  I like Masterson better in Fried Green Tomatoes and Slater better in Heathers, and I didn't want to watch them here.  Still, the production values are good, and it's cool to see what Pamela Segall (later Pamela Adlon) looked like in her late 20s, since I enjoy her work as a teen in Grease 2 and Something Special.  She plays Kim, the best friend of Masterson's character, and of course steals scenes even when she's just a voice on an answering machine.

Michael Goldenberg wrote and directed, and over a decade later he would do much better work with the script for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
