Search: Starring Peter Gallagher

Rose Byrne just gets better and better.

As a thumbnail analysis of the middle-class American psyche, Alan Ball's script is a devastating attack. It is also extremely funny.

We shouldn’t feel so obviously manipulated and steered away from everything else towards the leads’ performances.

An interesting example of technically inventive pastiche.

A polished, handsomely produced piece of work delivered with real confidence.

As sweet as it is bitter.

The premise pushes its luck in the street cred dept.

In the end, it is a question of taste. Either this is Capra refried, or Sandler on toast.

Palm Springs is appealingly playful and deceptively smart.

Made on just over a million dollars, this remains a hugely impressive first feature.
