Leonard (Phoenix) is bi-polar, doesn’t always take his meds, and the film starts with him jumping off the pier. He’s moved back with his parents (Rossellini and Moshonov) and works for his father’s dry-cleaning shop.
He meets Sandra (Shaw.)
He meets Michelle (Paltrow.)
It’s too depressing to be a rom com but it’s still rom and I don’t think any of them should choose any of them. Essentially, it’s just about two-timers. But Phoenix is good as always.
