在一场混乱后，小混混丹尼斯突然成了中风患者雷蒙德的看护。他原本只想闯入雷蒙德的房子，以偿还一些骗子的债务。而现在的他，恰恰相反，被“囚禁”在富商雷蒙德的房子里。雷蒙德因为中风发作，所有行动被限制在轮椅上。与此同时，雷蒙德的孙女夏洛特前往照看他，“巧遇”宅子里的丹尼斯，这无疑打乱了丹尼斯的计划。然而，逃离绝不是一种好的选择，因为该地区正遭受暴风雪的肆虐。因此，丹尼斯必须继续扮演看护者的角色。与夏洛特相反，雷蒙德却是早已看透丹尼斯。就此，一场“就地取材”的猫捉老鼠游戏，在行动不便的年长者和聪明的年轻人间展开……

苔丝（娜塔莎·金斯基 Nastassja Kinski 饰）出生于英国乡村的一个小农家庭，一天她的父亲听说自家是古老贵族德伯维尔的后裔。这个传闻，让苔丝的一生发生了剧变。因为有一个姓德伯维尔的有钱人家就住在不远，父母让苔丝前去攀亲。

聚焦两千年前的著名大战、德国历史重要事件——日耳曼人与罗马帝国的条顿堡森林战役，其中“那不为人知的故事”，以三个命运相互联系起来的年轻人的视角展开。

After missing out on a long-awaited mass suicide, an obnoxious cult member teams up with his former leader to gain a new following.

In 1905, French seminarian Bruno Reidel is found guilty of murdering a child. At the request of the doctors observing him, he writes his memoirs to explain his action.

Sam (Matthew Broderick) is the reasonable man in a crazy urban world, the man of thoughtfulness and refined taste in a landscape of Leroy Neiman paintings and beer commercials. The guy would sooner cook for an hour over a hot stove than say `supersize it.'　　By day he's a store clerk in an upscale gourmet eatery, and these scenes raise a smile, especially for anyone who's visited the actual chain in New York City -- the portrayal isn't far off from the reality. Our man is besieged by hoards of customers who want their imported French cheese cut to impossibly exact standards. His efforts to remain outwardly polite (while you know he'd like to take the cleaver to the relentless clientele) are pretty funny, and will warm the hearts of clerks everywhere. In general, Broderick is in good form and provides the movie with most of whatever lightness it possesses.　　Sciorra's lovelorn dental hygienist, Ellen, is fine enough, too, and her unknowing interaction with our cheese-slicing hero shows some hopeful chemistry, and you may begin to feel you want to see these two get together.　　One of the main competitors for our lady's affections, a stockbroker (Kevin Anderson), is played as caricature he's the beer swilling frat-boy whose idea of after-sex sensitivity is flipping on the football game. He's kind of funny at times, but the movie might be stronger if he was written or acted for us to like him more, instead of having us merely recognize him as the flat-out `wrong' guy in comparison to Broderick's sensitive man. Think of John Candy in Splash, taking a cigarette and beer can to the racquetball game; we know his lifestyle is not the one our hero should emulate, but we can't help but be charmed by the likeable goon. Whereas this character is merely a goon, and pretty unlikable all around.　　While it's a nice enough light movie for the first half, for me the story was somewhat derailed by its unbelievable (Hollywood) presentation of sex and adultery. (SPOILER AHEAD, skip to next paragraph.) When Ellen returns home after an evening's misadventures, she is naturally faced with the questioning husband (Michael Mantell). Quickly admitting her own indiscretion, she then immediately turns the situation around, demanding to know why the guy had gone ahead and bought a house without discussing it. Granted, it's a valid issue, and granted, many people use this countering maneuver in arguments. What's unbelievable is what happens next the guy starts responding to her question, addressing the house-issue in a quiet, thoughtful manner. WHOA. You'd be hard pressed to find a married person in the world who, when faced with hisher partner's totally unexpected adultery, would be ready to address anything so calmly. The guy would surely be bouncing off the walls, or else crushed into silence and tears - but see, then we might actually feel for the poor schnook, and we'd see Sciorra's character in a poor light. And since that particular audience reaction doesn't serve the romantic comedy, the story tries to sneak around it. You may start to feel that, like the husband, you're being taken.　　Further dissatisfaction is just around the corner in the ending. We realize this is where misunderstandings will get sorted out, and our couple will finally see a clear path to one another. We want the satisfaction of rooting for them. But it's marred by another unbelievable character reaction, followed by an abrupt conclusion that feels rushed and forced, too easy and unearned. You may feel as though the movie's cheating on you again...
