Who says nepotism is dead? Gwynnie's bro Jake got to direct this feature film all by his little self and got a bunch of famous people to appear in it. Not that we're suggesting that Jakie-boy would be washing cars or serving up fries if it weren't for his family connections, but this film has the overwhelming stench of "Hey, my brother wants to make a movie and I've already written a check and agreed to be in it. Can you please do me a favor and be in it. Please, please, please?" Anyway, Martin Freeman escapes from his train wreck of a life (yeah it's a real train wreck when Gwyneth plays your girlfriend) by learning the art of lucid dreaming and pretending that Penelope Cruz is his woman. Lots of dark comedic "fun" ensues and life lessons are learned.
