United States 2006; 71 min; English; Florida Premiere

A free-wheeling, first-person documentary that proves that losing well can be the best revenge! When actress/writer Annabelle Gurwitch was fired by Woody Allen, she invited celebrities like Tim Allen, Andy Dick, Jeff Garlin, Anne Meara and others to describe their own lay-offs. With interviews with Robert Reich and actor/economist Ben Stein and stories about downsized autoworkers, it becomes the best kind of comedy—rooted in empathy and with a serious point.

Guest: Annabelle Gurwitch

This screening and the Benefactor’s Reception that follows are made possible with the support of Rochelle and Craig Menin.
