The director and writers of the underrated Clockwatchers present an honest look at our unending quest for happiness in this ensemble drama that intersects the stories of several New Yorkers who find their lives altered by often ironic twists of fate. The fine cast includes Matthew McConaughey, John  Turturro, Clea DuVall, Amy Irving, and Alan Arkin. "The movie is brilliant, really. It is philosophy, illustrated through everyday events" (Roger Ebert,   Chicago Sun-Times).                                                        Jill Sprecher---USA---2002---104 mins.
