It's hard to believe that this was Nora Ephron's follow up to 'Sleepless in Seattle', it's such a misfire. Based on a French film 'Mixed Nuts' involves various eccentrics, principally associated with a suicide prevention hotline, which is on the verge of eviction from it's Venice Beach location at Christmas time. This movie seems dependent on the idea that a lot of manic energy means it must be funny, this did not prove true. A talent bomb if ever there was one, this film has a large cast of names, Steve Martin, Rita Wilson, Madeline Kahn, Gary Shandling, Juilette Lewis, Adam Sandler, Robert Kline, even Liev Schreiber in his film debut, in a part that hasn't aged particularly well. Just a disaster, an unfunny tone def comedy, just really, really bad. *
