Screenplay: Garry Shandling and Michael Leeson.

Twitter Capsule: It's funnier than I'd guessed. And Bening contributes a delicious performance. But a lot is off-putting.

VOR:   Better than the no-fun zone I anticipated but awfully negligible for Nichols. If this was meant to expand Shandling's audience it's a crazy miscalculation.
