Thirteen Conversations About One Thing

This ensemble picture means to explore the nature of happiness, but only one plot strand, in which Alan Arkin plays a corporate drone at an insurance company, really comes close to saying something interesting about the subject. As
other characters (played by the likes of Matthew McConaughey and John Turturro) float in and out of the picture, the overall result isn’t drama as much as it is a dull dissertation.
