Synopsis  (Country : USA)

Happiness

134 mins/ 199?

The three Jordan sisters are still trying to find happiness.  Joy insists she is getting better every day but Mr Right has not appeared.  The very married Trish secretly despairs that Joy won’t have it all the way she likes.  Helen, a best selling author, has slipped into an angst that can only be relieved by something new and preferably kinky.
Meanwhile, the parents are discovering that the Golden Years are not what they are chalked up to be.  Mona confesses that she wants a divorce lawyer.  Lenny likes the idea of dying but is too healthy to manage it.
There is Trish’s repressed psychiatrist husband (who seems oddly distracted) and  their pubescent son (who wants to be a “normal” kid).  There is Helen’s strange neighbour who is always trying to bump into her accidentally, while a lonely woman down the hall eyes him longingly.  A typical extended family, surburban New Jersey style.
Then, out of the blue, an anonymous phone call changes everything…
