Plot Summary
Gabriel Richmond has it all - a great career, a devoted best friend and a loving wife and daughter - then why is he so miserable? Witty, probing and emotionally honest, MULTIPLE SARCASMS is an average guy's search for what's missing from his "perfect" life. To figure it all out, Gabe writes an autobiographical stage play to help reveal what matters most and maybe find the love that was right under his nose all along. An incredible all-star cast including Oscar winner Timothy Hutton (Ordinary People, TV's Leverage), Academy Award-winner Mira Sorvino (Mighty Aphrodite), Dana Delany (TV's Desperate Housewives), Mario Van Peebles (TV's Damages) and Academy Award-nominee Stockard Channing (Six Degrees of Separation) fuels this fresh look of what it takes to find real happiness.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Why devote a single moment of your time to listening to his character, Gabriel Richmond, bellyache ad nauseam about having everything and still being miserable?
Rotten: Timothy Hutton's fine, loose-limbed perf as a man adrift lifts Multiple Sarcasms, frosh scribe-helmer Brooks Branch's male menopause apologia, out of cliche-ridden territory -- at least temporarily.
Rotten: Multiple Sarcasms is Woody Allen lite -- there's a lot of introspective fumbling around and intellectual foreplay. But in the end, instead of a satisfying climax, it feels like someone is faking it.
Rotten: A vanity production by Branch, previously a studio branding consultant, it's the kind of odious, self-validating wish fulfillment that actually makes you appreciate the more generous self-absorption of Henry Jaglom films.

Reviews ???
I am a 76 yr. old man, married three times, the last for 31 years, published in academia, photography, and other confabulations. I loved the movie. Having reinvented myself successfully several times and having the same kinds of struggles regarding my own self preoccupation, creativity, self doubt, martial diffusion(s), funny quick witted repartee prolific sarcasm, I felt this film deep in my bones. Now go ahead professional critics, rotten it up aa you want. It's a film for those struggling with the existential search for chocolate pudding or Camus.
