Various lives intersect to curious results in this sometimes surreal tale of life in Silverlake, from the duo who scripted crazy/beautiful and The Tuxedo. As Chinese-food restaurant and donut shop owner Cyrs (Brian Cox) obsessive-compulsive leanings begin to get the best of him, his workers lives seem to be falling into a bizarre state of disrepair. Manager Sung (Alexis Cruz) soon begins to tire of Cyrs increasingly odd tendencies, and fortune-cookie message scribe Dwights (Jamie Kennedy) girlfriend has recently decided to end their relationship; leaving Dwight to vent his frustrations by penning various inappropriate message for the restaurants fortune cookies. When Mitchell discovers a fortune that reads You will meet the girl of your dreams and subsequently runs into a prospective female, his unyielding affections are seemingly rejected, crushing the lonely souls hopes for love. Meanwhile, Ernie (Chris Bauer) and Olives (Christina Kirk) marriage seems to be heading south for reasons yet unknown, and a successful businessman (Michael Hitchcock) grows increasingly distressed when he loses his job after losing his cool at a business dinner. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
