About this product

Product Information

Writer-director David O. Russell follows up his dark independent comedy SPANKING THE MONKEY with this hilarious romp about a man who goes on a quest to find his biological parents. Mel Coplin (Ben Stiller), a new father, is convinced that he won't be able to give his son a name until he reunites with his real mother and father. So Mel, his depressed, neglected wife, Nancy (Patricia Arquette), and a sexy adoption consultant named Tina (Tea Leoni) set out to find them. By the time they reach the New Mexico home of Mel's true parents (Alan Alda and Lily Tomlin)--two laid-back hippie scientists who are in the LSD business--Mel's marriage appears to be completely demolished. But the wackiness doesn't end there, since his neurotic, overbearing adoptive parents (George Segal and Mary Tyler Moore) arrive just in time to add even greater confusion to the mix.Russell assembles a cast who have contributed greatly to the development of American screen comedy, and they throw themselves into their roles with great fervor. Commenting on identity, sexual and cultural prejudice, and the convention of marriage, Russell's script is a farcical laugh-fest that is at once intelligent, fast-paced, and witty. His assured, grounded direction makes FLIRTING WITH DISASTER's humor all the more outrageous and hysterical.

  • CINEMATIC GEM!!!!!!

    This film is PURE GOLD!!!! I should have AT LEAST been nominated for ORIGINAL screenwriting, direction and SUPPORTIVE ACTING for Mary Tyler Moore! It IS CLASSIC 1990s wit, sass, SOCIAL COMMENTARY, sexual deviance and HUMAN FOIBLES and our eternal love affair with "schadenfreude"- harmjoy, and enjoying other people's suffering. It's about FAILING AT ADULTING BECAUSE YOU THINK KNOWING YOUR BIOLOGICAL FACTUAL ORIGINS will help you discover/understand WHO YOU ARE. It's LITERALLY early 30somethings (?) ON A WILD, CRAZY, WEIRD, INAPPROPRIATE, SELF-ABSORBED, SOULFUL, ANXIETY RIDDEN, LUSTFUL ROAD TRIP with a 5 month old baby, newlyweds, a divorcee working on her doctorate, a gay couple of FBI agents with SERIOUS RELATIONSHIP ISSUES. All the actors are wonderful. The plot is a skilled, intricate, comical, loony, sardonic, acid trip. The actual DVD is excellent. Sound, picture, subtitles, extras---YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
