Happy Hour

Synopsis:

Happy Hour tells the story of Tulley (Anthony LaPaglia), a self proclaimed 'drinker with a writing problem,' who struggles to finish his stalled novel while working at a dead end job in a New York City ad agency. Teamed with his best friend and drinking buddy, Levine (Eric Stoltz), Tulley parties away his nights to try to forget the writer's block that plagues him. In his favorite watering hole one night Tulley meets Natalie (Caroleen Feeney), a strong willed schoolteacher, and an unlikely affair begins. She matches him drink for drink, wisecrack for wisecrack and quietly challenges him to fulfill his promise just as the toll of too many drunken nights begins to catch up with him. With his life and health at a turning point, Tulley sets out to finish his book before his years of carousing finish him. Alternately hilarious and heart breaking, Happy Hour is the dramatic and emotional story of a gifted writer and the two people who love him.

Three Of Hearts: Postmodern Family

Synopsis:

In his early twenties, Sam Cagnina, the oldest son of a mafia hit man, meets Steven, a handsome 19-year old college student and they fall in love. Soon Sam, charisma and energy to spare, gets an idea. "Hey, wouldn�t it be great to bring a woman into the relationship!?" Steven, being an easygoing guy, agrees. They spend the next seven years dating and looking for a woman they could both fall in love with who would agree to live in a "trio" relationship. They know they have found that special someone else when they meet Samantha, a Toronto ex-pat struggling as an actress in New York City. Sam meets Samantha, and they fall in love. Samantha meets Steven and they fall in love too. The "trio," as they are affectionately called, begin their journey.

We catch up with Sam, Samantha and Steven nine years later. They are going to have a baby; a baby about whom one thing seems certain: he/she will have an "S" name. Three of Hearts explores this unique union as they negotiate their living arrangements, have children and open one of the hottest wellness centers in New York. Of course you want to know about their families and their friends and, we�d guess, about the sex. Jam-packed with incident it is often hilarious but once accustomed to its more sensational elements, we begin to see this film for what it is, a rather remarkable journey of self-discovery for this threesome and for those of us with whom they�ve shared their lives.
