Here's a would-be smart comedy with a jazzy score and a bright beginning: what follows, alas, is an almost laugh-free zone. Nymphet Dedee (Christina Ricci, who also narrates, tediously) flings a chair in her stepfather's grave and stomps off to live with her gay half-brother Bill (Martin Donovan), whose bisexual boyfriend (Ivan Sergei) gets her pregnant, to the disgust of Bill's colleague Lucia (Lisa Kudrow, who does have her moments), who has not-so-secret longings for him. Although the plot has isolated funny lines, its characters are clinically written and unsympathetic, especially Ricci's: she's cold and tiresome, like the film.
