About this movie

Sam Rockwell stars as Doug Varney, a small town pharmacist with an overbearing wife (Michelle Monaghan) and an uneventful life running the drugstore he bought from his insufferable father-in-law. Following a chance encounter with a lonely trophy wife (Olivia Wilde), Doug embarks on an exhilarating drug-and-alcohol-fuelled affair with the most glamorous woman he has ever met. Take a walk on the wild side in this murderously funny dark comedy which also stars Ray Liotta and Jane Fonda.

Ratings and reviews

I have seen this movie a dozen times, my hubby and I think it's super funny. We are both huge Sam Rockwell fans though. But it's comical, almost real life circumstances that could happen. And might I add Mr Rockwell is super gorgeous in this film. 😆😋😋

This looks like all the celebrities were having a awesomeness time. Thank you for your hard work.

Great movie its a rent for sure. Anything with Olivia Wilde is a watch for me lol
