Movie Haiku:Jennifer Westfeldt stars in her second screenplay (after KISSING JESSICA STEIN), casting herself this time as waspette “Abby” married to Jewish prince “Ira” (Messina). Jan says: Westfeldt’s adorable & her clever dialogue builds to a giddy climax. Full haiku pending input from Rich (who hasn’t seen film yet).
