Product Description:
Philip runs a crisis hotline with catherine and mrs munchnik. Thats the easy part now it gets tricky Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 06/01/2004 Starring: Steve Martin Juliette Lewis Run time: 97 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Nore Ephron
Amazon.com:
Writer-director Nora Ephron hit a low point with this disappointingly dreary comedy set in a suicide clinic on Christmas Eve. The joke is supposed to be that all of the crisis counselors are themselves a pack of lovable losers, led by a badly toupeed Steve Martin. But it's a short step from lovable loser to annoying dweeb and most of the people in this movie cross that line very quickly. It's too bad, because the cast includes Madeline Kahn, Robert Klein, Rob Reiner, Garry Shandling, and Adam Sandler. Somehow, Ephron manages to restrain this lineup from doing anything funny. --Marshall Fine

Rating: - No One, Not Even The Crazies, Want To Be Alone On Christmas
Nora Ephron, the director of "Sleepless in Seattle," brings us this zany Christmas comedy "Mixed Nuts." It stars legendary comic man Steve Martin as the operator of a suicide prevention hotline, Lifesavers, in Venice Beach, California. It is Christmas Eve and he has just received an eviction notice from his landlord; his girlfriend has also called to say that she has taken the advice of her psychiatrist and broken up with him. Martin's co-workers include lonely Rita Wilson who fears she will spend the rest of her life always in the grocery store's Ten Items Or Less express lane and Madeline Kahn who keeps trying, but is constantly failing, to reach her dead husband's relatives whom she dislikes, and vice versa.
An assortment of mixed nuts descends upon the hotline in search of companionship. There is the transvestite, played surprisingly well by Liev Schreiber of "Scream" trilogy fame; he is surrounded by a large family but none of them understand him, proving that you don't have to be alone to feel lonely at Christmas. His dance scenes with Martin are hilarious. (Martin is a great dancer.) Juliette Lewis ("National Lampoon's Family Christmas") is a pregnant friend whose ex-con husband, Anthony LaPaglia, is a jobless loser dressed in a Santa Claus outfit; he keeps attempting suicide. Rob Reiner is a harried veterinarian who treats LaPaglia for a cut on his forehead. Adam Sandler is an imbecile who composes and sings silly songs while accompanying himself on his ukulele. ...
