The film focuses on two middleclass suburban families, circa 1950s (in upstate NY?) from the opposite sides of town and how one mistake sets off a problem which neither one has started. Black comedy, screwball, farce, and even elements of drama make an otherwise enjoyable movie. The cast of unknowns are superb, as is Rene Auberjonois (Deep Space Nine) as the Reverton and Stanley Tucci as the lively police officer.
