Movie Info
A middle-aged director aspires to create his magnum opus in this comedy-drama. The poor fellow has been so beaten down by a recent string of flops that he is sure his latest endeavor, a sci-fi film about a giant flying pickle is going to suffer the same fate. To ease his understandably almost unbearable opening night jitters, the director attempts to gather the support of those closest to him. Unfortunately, people skills have never been his forte and he alienates those he needs the most including his ex-wife, his barely post-adolescent girl friend, his recovering drug addict son and his ever-patient manager. He is even mean to his baby grandchild. The night of the opening, the director grows despondent and swallows a handful of sleeping pills. He is just about to doze off to eternity when the phone rings....
