By the way, the other review here is very good, especially as an overview of the structure of the film, however, there seems to be a typo--It's BEN who was married to gorgeous Maria, and was kicked out after cheating on her, not Tommy.
The film seemed a little slow in the beginning to me. I found the character of Tommy sweet, but not particularly compelling, so I was kind of getting impatient with the pace. However, as the rest of the characters were introduced, I soon became engrossed in the stories, and I LOVED the way all the story lines became more and more entangled with each other.
My favorite character, easily, was Ben, played by the ever- interesting David Krumholtz (now on CBS's Numb3rs!) and his scenes with Brittany Murphy were surprisingly touching and funny.
Stanley Tucci was a riot, though, as the most selfish little shmuck ever.
All in all, I really liked it and would recommend it
