Summary of Mixed Nuts

It's Christmas Eve at Lifelines, a Venice Beach suicide hotline. Philip (Steve Martin), the manager, has just been informed by the landlord that the they are being evicted and suddenly business around the office seems as crazy as the callers who are clogging the lines! Over one night, the offbeat characters around the office and in the neighborhood--from timid Catherine (Rita Wilson), to rapping Mrs. Munchnik (Madeline Kahn), to pregnant Grace (Juliette Lewis), to cross-dressing Chris (Liev Schrieber)--will all learn that Christmas can be a happy time regardless of your mental state. Director Nora Ephron (SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE) co-scripted this quirky holiday comedy with sister Delia.

The New York Times

Staged as pure fluff without an ounce of ballast, Mixed Nuts succeeds only in getting its cast into Halloween-caliber crazy costumes by the time it's over. Full Review

TV Guide

Mixed Nuts is a relentlessly hectic, poorly structured farce that falls embarrassingly flat. All the comedy here comes at the expense of the characters, reflecting a pronounced cruel streak in Ephron's work for the screen. Full Review
