Easy Way Out

Patrick O'Neil is a travel agent who never goes anywhere. His closest

confidante, Sharon, is chain-smoking her way to singles hell, passing up man

after man. His parents, proprietors of a suburban men's store whose fortunes

are sagging more visibly than its customers, can't agree how best to interfere

in their sons' lives. And his lover, Arthur (a nice golden retriever of a guy

to whom Patrick can't quite commit), wants to cement their relationship

by buying a house.

Then a call comes in the middle of another sleepless night. Tony, Patrick's

straight-as-an-arrow younger brother, has fallen in love with a beautiful

lawyer who is turning him on to...opera. Unfortunately, she's not the woman he's already pledged to marry. Tony's life is a mess. Finally, the brothers have something in common.
