Christine Jesperson (writer/director Miranda July) is a struggling artist and cab driver who uses her talents and imagination to draw her dreams and objects of desire. One such object is Richard Swersey (John Hawkes), a newly-single father of two boys who is hoping for amazing things, yet panics upon meeting the captivating Christine. But in a world where the mundane is transcendent and people seek meaningful connections despite the risk, anything magical can happen - and well - happen. (official distributor synopsis)

Incomprehensible message of American Beauty, Happiness, and similar films about wanderers without a fixed life path. Miranda July is lost in what she would like to say, and sometimes she slips from the story of strange people into unnecessarily deep vulgar waters (chattering boys are completely out of place), and all profound speeches are just empty cotton in which even the characters themselves get lost. I couldn't identify with anyone, and I was just waiting for another excerpt from the beautifully hypnotic soundtrack.
