The Details
Seemingly blind to the actual cracks in his marriage, a doctor (Tobey Maguire) blames a family of destructive raccoons for the problems in his home life. The pest problem then begins a darkly comic and wild chain reaction of domestic tension, infidelity and murder.

It's hard to make a fine actress like Laura Linney look off-key and shrill, but "The Details" manages to do just that. It's hardly an accomplishment.

"The Details" wears its quirky heart on its sleeve, signaling (and smirking at) its own silliness, at every opportunity, with an intrusively antic score that makes everything sound like a giant joke.

"The Details" is not just entertaining, but potentially useful.

Everything here is intentionally grotesque to service the filmmaker's cheap shots. Women and black people are just plain crazy.
