“Leonardo’s character, Dr. Mindy, was hapless and very earnest, and Jen was just so honest and so tragic and so sad. And then you had Jonah and Meryl on the other side.

Corwin notes that the entire cast was in top form. “Every performance in this movie was at such a high level,” he says, “and these guys were all challenging one another and challenging themselves.”
