Really well written by Steve Kloves (BAFTA and Oscar nominated) from Michael Chabon's novel, offering Michael Douglas a great part as a world-weary professor / writer. (He received a BAFTA nomination but not, interestingly, an Oscar nod.) It's funny how uptight student Tobey Maguire resists offers of drink and drugs, then takes to them both with some alacrity. And when asked why he's written such a long book, the author replies "Because I couldn't stop."
Frances McDormand, Robert Downey Jr., Katie Holmes, Rip Torn, Jane Adams. Richard Thomas, Michael Cavadias (transvestite). Totally confused though who played 'Vernon Hardapple' or whatever his real name is (the true owner of the car). He's credited as Richard Knox, but it sure ain't this guy that Google shows as being he:
