All the Rage

From 1999, All the Rage is a strange little artsy movie about people who’s lives are ultimately ruined by handguns. Some of the stories are a little more interesting than the others but writer Keith Reddin and director James Stern dilute the effect by having so many subplots and then needing artificial means to connect them together. The actors are all pretty good but they don’t have enough to work with. The IMDB page linked to the title has a good audience summary, so I’ll skip it here. Let’s just say I had a difficult time buying David Schwimmer and Andre Braugher as a gay couple but that may be due to the fact that I cannot unerstand how Schwimmer ever got work as an actor in the first place. Gary Sinise, on the other hand, is terrific playing a Bill Gates gone Howard Hughes weirdo.
