Steven, nearly 30 and living with his parents, sees an old Edgar Bergen
movie on TV and decides to fulfill his longtime dream of becoming a
ventriloquist. His beautiful unemployment counselor Lorena finds him work,
but puts out a restraining order on him when he paints a thank-you note on
her door. Later, this young mother agrees to date him anyway, but finds his
bickering family, and his inexperience with women, daunting to a
relationship. Steven's sister Heidi is a wedding planner with a drunken ex-
fiancé who keeps showing up at the door. His friend Fangora is a
pseudo-
punk rocker whose sex does not prevent her from giving him terrible advice
about women. The wedding of a Jewish girl, who wants Klezmer music and
gets something unexpected, will become a turning point in everyone's lives.
