Of course there are many films structured like this one, but this one steals too liberally from others (e.g., copying a scene almost verbatim from _Magnolia_, but with a twist!) This tries to deal with some serious (albeit conventional) topics--loss, despair, loneliness, regret, etc.--but provides such unconvincing characters that it is difficult to take seriously. Lisa Kudrow, however, is very good in this.

Criminally underrated. The performances may be over the top to some, but they worked for me. I was not bothered by its hyperlink style (read the Wikipedia article on hyperlink cinema). The performances are quite powerful, and the writing is very good.
