Lisa Kudrow, after a career of inventing post-it notes, writing fantastic folk ditties such as "Smelly Cat", and being married to a psychiatrist involved with mob, has turned her (actually quite brilliant) talents in a new direction, starring in upcoming low budget indie flick "Kabluey" alongside writer and director Scott Prendergast. We're introduced to a worn woman, Leslie, whose husband's deployment to Iraq has left her life in a complete upheaval, having to deal with the onset of loneliness and the savage beast-ary of her two young sons. Uncertain hope comes in the form of Leslie's husband's brother and black sheep, Salman, dressed in a corporate mascot's clothing. With the fate of the family in his hands, will Salman be able to keep it together long enough to salvage the ruins that cannot rebuild without his aid? Or will he fall back into his mysteriously shady past, letting down the last people to believe in him?

While movies about familial dishevelment are nothing new, and we all can pretty much guess how it's going to end, there's seems to be something refreshing about Prendergast's story of hitting absolute bottom. If you can ignore whatever political slant the film almost inevitably is going to take, and see through to the heart of the story, I'm sure, along with the apparently witty dialogue, beautifully sprawling scenery, and fascinating use of color, "Kabluey" will not be one to disappoint.
