| Plot |
| David Veloz made his directorial debut with this drama adapted from the autobiography of comedy writer Jerry Stahl ( Ben Stiller ), whose $6000-a-week heroin habit had him taking his infant daughter along on his drug runs and doing smack during TV script conferences. Departing detox, Stahl explores memories with survivor Kitty ( Maria Bello ), who listens patiently to Stahl 's flashback. Other women in Stahl 's life are his British wife Sandra ( Elizabeth Hurley ) and his agent Vola ( Lourdes Benedicto ). For the TV series "Mr. Chompers" (inspired by ALF ), Stahl meets with sitcom exec Craig Ziffer ( Fred Willard ) and puppeteer Allen ( Charles Fleischer ). For freaky freebasing, Stahl hangs with mumbler Nicky ( Owen Wilson ) and druggie Gus ( Peter Greene ). Stahl himself can be seen in a cameo as the methadone clinic doctor. Shown at the 1998 Toronto Film Festival . — Bhob Stewart |
