UJane, uLowe kunye noPiven. Amadoda akhulileyo aziphatha kakubi akuyo yonke indawo kwifilimu, kodwa iqela elijike kakhulu esiswini labangaphumelelanga alizange lihlanganiswe kunamaqhekeza Ndinyibilika Nawe . Amahlumelo amane e-brussels abantu abonwabisayo ahlangana kunye ngonyaka iveki yokuziphatha gwenxa kunye nokuzitshabalalisa kwindlu yaselwandle eqeshiweyo kwi-Big Sur yaseCalifornia.URichard (Thomas Jane, ovela kuthotho lweTV Ulambile ), inkokeli yeqela le-alpha-eyindoda, ngumbhali wenoveli ongaphumelelanga ofundisa amabanga aphakamileyo amaNgesi ukuba aphile. UJonathan (uRob Lowe, ocebise ngokungafanelekanga le nkunkuma yexesha) ngugqirha olikhoboka eliphakathi kuqhawulo mtshato olubi oluchaza iziyobisi ezingekho mthethweni kwizigulana ezizizityebi kwaye luza nesingxobo sezinto ezingaphezulu, ezantsi kunye neepilisi ngalo lonke uhlobo ukugcina abahlobo bakhe ngamatye. URon (uJeremy Piven) uyimarike yemali ephantsi kophando ngabasemagunyeni. UTim (uChristian McKay) yinkwenkwe yokuzalwa ejika ibe li-gay kwaye idandatheke kakhulu ngenxa yokusweleka kwesithandwa sayo kwingozi yemoto. Ukuqiniswa ngotywala obunzima, ukukhwaza i-acid rock kunye ne-cocaine engapheliyo, aba bantu abalahlekileyo nabangenasiphelo bathetha ngabafazi ababakhohlisayo, abantwana abangabakhathalelanga, ukulahlekelwa yizinwele zabo, ukungabi namandla kunye nokungasebenzi kwe-erectile, ukwesaba kwabo ukuguga, kunye namalungu abo esini. Zonke zabelana ngeengxaki zokuzinikela, kuye wonke umntu ngaphandle komnye. Njengokuba imihla yabo incipha kukudada behamba ze kumanqanaba angama-60-degree, ii-hangovers ezinobundlobongela kunye ne-orgy, bachitha i-convertible ngesantya esiphezulu ngelixa bekhubazekile kwidope kwaye batyhila iimfihlo ezibatyhalele ezantsi emngxunyeni womvundla wokungabuyi. Umbhali wayilahla italente yakhe, ugqirha wazinza ngokunyanzela iziyobisi endaweni yokonga ubomi, i-Wall Street jerk yazifaka kwizikimu zokwenza imali kunye nexabiso elingelilo kunye nomfana oligay ... kakuhle, ungoyena ukrelekrele kubo bonke. Ngosuku lwesine, bamfumana exhonywe eluphahleni lwendlu yangasese kwaye uyazibuza ukuba uthathe ntoni ixesha elide kangaka. Eminye le mijelo engapheliyo ijika ibe yinto evuthayo enesiqingatha njengoko abasindileyo abathathu belahla umzimba kaTim (ngaphandle kwesizathu) kwaye ipolisa elihle (elahlekisiweyo nguCarla Gugino) liyarhanela kwaye lijinga ngasendlwini yengxondorha (kananjalo ngaphandle kwesizathu ). Uyazi ukuba bonke baya kuzihlawulela izono zabo ngeendlela ezilusizi nezoyikekayo, kodwa akunakulinda ukuba iphele.
Ukuphelisa i-clichés ye-midlife-crisis, i-screenplay ye-Glenn Porter iyamangalisa ngokwaneleyo ukuba ihlekise kuzo zonke iindawo ezingalunganga, ngelixa u-Mark Pellington's stale, ulindelo kunye nolwalathiso kulutsha lubopha imilo entle phakathi ngaphandle kwesikhephe somqolo. Ungaze ucinge ngokuchitha ixesha kunye nemali kule dreck, ngakumbi ukuba unesifo se-vertigo. Njengokuba abadlali beluka bethontelana besiya kwigumbi ngegumbi, iindonga zijikeleza kunye nomculo we-rap ubeka engozini iindlebe, iikhamera eziphethwe ngesandla ziqhubela umbukeli kwisicaphucaphu. I-cacophony yiPistols zoSondo, iiNtloko eziNtetho, uKennedys ofileyo kunye nokubi. Ngaba ezi zinto zokudlala zamakhwenkwe zigugileyo azikaze zikhule? Hayi ngokweengoma zomculo, ukuze uqiniseke. Ndinyibilika Nawe Ikhathalogu eyintlekele yeziphene, zonke zigxininiswa yimiboniso bhanyabhanya ehlaziyiweyo. Ukucofa i-coke, ukugcwala utywala kunye nokugabha kudibanisa ukuya kuthi ga kwiiyure ezimbini zokudakumba, i-anesthesia kunye nokungabinantsingiselo, ukuzonwabisa okungaphezulu. Bekufanele ukuba bayayibiza NdiyaVomit nawe . Kukho okuninzi kwalonto nayo.
