YOUNGER & YOUNGER

Details Movie Rated: R; Genre: Comedy; With: Lolita Davidovich and Donald Sutherland

YOUNGER & YOUNGER Donald Sutherland, Lolita Davidovich (1995, Paramount, R, priced for rental) How much kookiness can you take? Representing the aspirations of countless student films, director Percy Adlon (who made the equally zany Bagdad Cafe) takes surreal moralizing to new heights -- or depths, depending on your tolerance for whimsy -- with this odd romantic comedy set in an L.A. self-storage warehouse. Its proprietors are the unpleasantly swaggering Jonathan Younger (Sutherland) and his long-suffering wife (Davidovich, in several guises); clients include Sally Kellerman and Linda Hunt. When a film stuffed with this much talent goes straight to video, you might suspect something. And you'd be largely right. C-
