What do you do when your ex-lover wants to borrow money to pay for his phone sex with another woman? This and other modern dilemmas are tackled in Walking and Talking, first-time writer-director Nicole Holofcener's savvy comedy. Anne Heche (Donnie Brasco) and Catherine Keener (who was hilarious as a spacey actress in Living in Oblivion) delight as two old pals — one about to be married, the other in between boyfriends. Like an American Eric Rohmer, Holofcener affectionately observes the often messy interactions between men and women in a film that's quite funny but also unafraid to be sentimental or bittersweet. If you're looking for a refreshing antidote to alien invasions and car crashes, this is it.
