Synopsis (Country : USA)
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 wont 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 Trishs repressed psychiatrist husband (who seems oddly distracted)
and their pubescent son (who wants to be a normal kid). There
is Helens 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
