Inside Monkey Zetterland

Inside Monkey Zetterland is a 1992 film penned by former child actor Steve Antin. Struggling former child actor and now-adult screenwriter Monkey Zetterland is working on a historical screenplay based around the defunct Red Car subway of Los Angeles. He lives in a building owned by his neurotic mother Honor Zetterland , who is a famous soap opera star. Secretly hoping there is a future in acting for Monkey, she is trying to turn her hairdresser son Brent Zetterland into a film star. As the film begins, Honor shows up at Monkey's house to borrow his epsom salts at the same time that his... disagreeable girlfriend Daphne arrives. From this point on the film dissolves into a character study with little plot development as new and old characters interact and form a quirky family unit. Sister Grace Zetterland arrives in tears to reveal that her lesbian girlfriend has gotten pregnant in an attempt to bring the two of them closer.
