This sophisticated odd comedy with a bit slow pace somehow slipped through the cracks of the movie world. It is not that famous although it is good enough. Peter McGowan is a nervous playwright who does not get so much recognition. Using his own experiences with children and annoying dogs he will try to finally succeed. This movie is about small things that happen to all of us, and if it happens that you have the same opinion as our main character that better the movie will be. He is constantly smoking, he does not want kids, people annoy him, and all the other stuff that we usually hate or love. You might find the plot a bit incoherent due to the desire of the director to tackle too much subjects, but it is still good. Enjoy.
