黑马

又高又胖的宅男阿比雖已年過三十，還是吃父母、住父母，就連工作都在老爸公司。自我感覺超級良 　　好的他，在舞會煞到一個怪怪正妹，正打算熱烈追求，辦公室的秘書阿姨卻衝進來澆他冷水，還在他 　　面前跳豔舞、玩猛男。原來，這個長不大的男人，只有在想像世界裡才能透過其他角色的當頭棒喝， 　　面對自己。 　　日舞、坎城、威尼斯影展的常客陶德索倫茲，這回擺脫了強姦、手淫、戀童癖，轉而觀察長不大的男人。 　　這是他有史以來卡司最大的一部片，卻沒有好萊塢慣有的皆大歡喜，而是讓所有政治不正確，在好笑 　　的自我詰問中，扭轉出人性的可悲與可憫。辛辣之餘，風趣依舊，再次證明他是解構美式生活的能手 　　與黑色幽默的專家。Abe Wertheimer - an odious, purposeless, self-centered 35-year-old living parasitically with his parents (by choice) and working in his dismayed father's business office (avoiding work while scoping eBay for collectible toys) - meets Miranda, an equally pathetic but self-loathing social dropout who, having given up on life, masochistically accepts Abe's sudden proposal of marriage for a knowingly grim future she won't fight against. Along with projecting his own faults onto his father, his own jealousy for lack of success and accomplishment onto his younger brother, and wallowing in the blind support of his mother, it's just another aspect of Abe's unsatisfying life that he just can't see to improve. A long-overdue decision finally spins his insignificant life out of control.
