Happy Endings
SYNOPSIS __________
Plot:
Mamie (LISA KUDROW) is being blackmailed. This filmmaker named Nicky (JESSE BRADFORD) claims to know Mamie’s son – the one she gave up for adoption – but Nicky won’t introduce her to him unless he can film their reunion. Enter Javier (BOBBY CANNAVALE), Mamie’s massage therapist boyfriend, who convinces Nicky to film him instead. Now they’re all making a movie about massage. And ‘happy endings’…
Charley (STEVE COOGAN) has a longtime boyfriend named Gil (DAVID SUTCLIFFE). Their best friends, Pam (LAURA DERN) and Diane (SARAH CLARKE), once tried using Gil as a sperm donor. They said his sperm didn’t take, but Charley thinks those control-freak lesbians are lying. Pam and Diane’s two-year-old son looks exactly like Gil. And it’s time to set the record straight…
Jude (MAGGIE GYLLENHAAL) is pissed. Not at anyone in particular. Just in general. When her cousin kicks her out of the house, Jude shacks up with Otis (JASON RITTER), who’s still trying to convince his father, Frank (TOM ARNOLD), that he’s straight. Frank’s a widower. And he’s rich. So Jude decides to sleep with him, too. Really. The last thing she expected was to fall in love…
Just when you thought you knew everything about love and dysfunction, along comes HAPPY ENDINGS, Lions Gate Films’ hilarious and heartfelt new comedy by writer/director Don Roos (THE OPPOSITE OF SEX, BOUNCE).
Featuring a talented ensemble cast that includes Tom Arnold, Jesse Bradford, Bobby Cannavale, Sarah Clarke, Steve Coogan, Laura Dern, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Lisa Kudrow, Jason Ritter and David Sutcliffe, HAPPY ENDINGS deftly weaves together multiple stories to create a sharp, witty look at love, family and the sheer unpredictability of life itself. A feast of buried secrets, missed opportunities and welcome second chances, this wildly original comedy proves that the happiest ending of all is the one you least expect.
