Happiness (1998)

Director: Tom Solondz (Welcome to the Dollhouse, Palindromes)
Stars: Phillip Seymour Hoffman (Boogie Nights, Twister)
Dylan Baker
(Road to Perdition, Head of State)
YesNoSoso: 2

Not for the faint of heart. Dylan Baker plays an extremely three dimensional pedophile. The story revolves around three sisters, Lara Flynn Boyle is the oldest and most successful, Cynthia Stevenson plays the middle sister married to Baker's pedophile phychologist and Jane Adams plays the fuck-up youngest. Obviously has extremely racy content so I would pass it if you liked a movie like say...Titanic. If you like solidly acted, thought inducing films, Happiness is perfect for you.
