"Better Living Through Chemistry" follows a small-town pharmacist named Doug Varney (Sam Rockwell), who lives an uneventful life and is constantly over-ruled by his wife Kara (Michelle Monaghen) and her father (Ken Howard). Doug's life changes dramatically one fateful night when he makes a delivery to the home of Elizabeth Roberts (Olivia Wilde), a bored trophy wife. A whirlwind of sex, drugs, and possibly murder follows. Jane Fonda narrates.
This film is more of the quirky comedy than a laugh-out-loud obvious type but it's enjoyable. Rockwell, Monaghen, and Wilde are good here as well as Ray Liotta in a small role as Elizabeth's husband. Decent script as there are some twists here and Fonda's narration is a plus. The story isn't really a new idea or a fresh telling but the film has charm thanks to the cast and some good moments that make it watchable.
Not anything new but good cast - B
like cast, will try this one
