The search for happiness connects lonely lives in this blisteringly subversive film from Todd Solondz, director of Welcome To The Dollhouse. Centered around the three Jordan sisters; Joy (Jane Adams), who moves through lackluster jobs with no sense of purpose. Now employed teaching adults, she is dating a student, Russian taxi-driver Vlad (Jared Harris). Helen (Lara Flynn Boyle), an esteemed poet who becomes amused by her perverted neighbor, Allen (Philip Seymour Hoffman). And eldest sister Trish (Cynthia Stevenson), who is married to Bill (Dylan Baker), a psychiatrist with a very disturbing secret life. Solondz wickedly dark tale takes a Lynchian-razor blade to the façade of middle-class perfection. Challenge your sympathies and see the movie that made over 50 top ten lists of 1998.
