Sweeney is a playwright on a career decline. He spends much of his time wheedling money and beer out of his artistic friend Moriarty. One of his few highlights is weekly sex with his ex-wife Georgia.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its comedic drama on the clash between artistic recklessness and adult reality, relying on dialogue rich in self-deprecating wit.

What lingers after the laughter fades is a bittersweet reflection on the perpetual adolescence of the creative soul. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: John Trent
