A
Hollywood version of “American Splendor,” “Enemies”
tells the story of playwright and sitcom writer Paul Halpern
(Academy Award Nominee David Paymer) who can’t buy a
break! Somewhat successful professionally, he can’t
get his private life together. When his dates don’t
stand him up, they turn him off. His bizarre friend Sam (Judge
Reinhold) secretly makes a documentary about his life, interviewing
his parents, his former girlfriends and his colon hydro therapist,
all scrounging for good things to say about him. His luck
changes when he meets Carla (Rosalind Chao), a new director
in town who wants to produce his script. Paul hates the idea
but after the premiere of the film about himself, Paul’s
luck turns for the better.
