Director: Kristoffer Borgli
Cast: Nicolas Cage, Jessica Clement, Lily Bird, Kate Berlant, Dylan Baker, Dylan Gelula, Tim Meadows, Michael Cera, Julianne Nicholson, David Klein

U.S. Release Date: 1991-03-22
MPAA Rating: "PG"
Genre: Fantasy/Comedy
Director: Albert Brooks
Cast: Albert Brooks, Meryl Streep, Rip Torn, Lee Grant, Buck Henry
Brooks offers humor that targets the brain rather than the gut. There are some laugh-out-loud moments but the primary tone is “amusing” rather than “hilarious.”
