When high-powered attorney Louise (Meg Ryan) learns that her husband, Ian (Timothy Hutton), plans to leave her after 13 years of marriage to run off with his twentysomething girlfriend, Sara (Kristen Bell), she immediately decides to take drastic action. She ties up Ian in their country house and refuses to let him go until they talk things through. Naturally, he resists, and things take an even worse turn for the couple when a young hooligan (Justin Long) hears Ian’s cries for help and decides to rob the couple blind instead of helping the hapless husband.

SERIOUS MOONLIGHT was scripted by actress-director Adrienne Shelly, who was murdered in 2006. After her death, Shelly’s husband, Andy Ostroy (who produced the film and has a small role in it), decided to go forward with the project. SERIOUS MOONLIGHT marks the feature directorial debut of actress Cheryl Hines (CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM), who co-starred in Shelly’s last directorial effort, WAITRESS. (1 hr. 24 min.)
