Synopsis:
Abe (Jordan Gelber) clings to the trappings of his adolescence and still lives with his disapproving parents, Jackie (Christopher Walken) and Phyllis (Mia Farrow). He works for his father's real estate company yet spends his time browsing the internet for toy figurines. The success of his older brother feeds into Abe's resentment, but things look on the up when he meets the beautiful but heavily medicated Miranda (Selma Blair) whose own life is going nowhere fast. As the unlikely couple plan a new life together, Abe's grip on reality falls victim to his ever increasing need for fantasy.

Second best - Dark Horse review by LC

Spoiler Alert
08/08/2021

Following the struggles of a perennial underachiever who considers himself a 'dark horse' who will win in the end, this film manages a nice mix of bleakly dark humour, awkward interactions and human drama. The film doesn't quite rank up there with writer/director Solondz's classic 'Happiness', but it's still pleasantly offbeat stuff. The narrative itself is fairly straight, and very tightly-focused on the lead character, so the pace does drag slightly at times, but ultimately it's an emotionally affecting piece.
