• Cast: Frances McDormand, Christian Bale, Kate Beckinsale, Natascha McElhone, Alessandro Nivola

Frances McDormand gives one of her best performances in years as the seducer, veteran record producer Jane, a sexual free spirit whose current, main squeeze is a much younger British rock singer. Erotic sparks fly when her puritanical psychiatrist son, Sam (Bale), and his equally uptight fiancée, Alex (Beckinsale) are forced to share Jane's house in the Hollywood Hills. Laid-back, mature and sexy entertainment.
