Loudmouth Soup (2005)

Catherine and Jason are nervously preparing for their first L.A. dinner party. They have moved from New York and are celebrating the sale of their first film, a hit at Sundance. They feel like fish out of water and are intent on making new friends. Keith, a new acquaintance of Catherine's, arrives first, flirting with Catherine and annoying Jason. Soon after, Charlie, a producer who has optioned Jason's new script, arrives with his assistant, Kim. Blake, an indie film guru, gets the last seat and the six of them settle into a weird, tense dining session filled with the hyperbolic movie-talk that only exists in L.A. When a surprise guest knocks on the door, the party takes an unexpected turn. Featuring a veteran cast of television actors including Nancy Bell (Star Trek Voyager), Kevin Chamberlin (Christmas with the Kranks) and Kit Pongetti (The Gilmore Girls). In the tradition of Curb Your Enthusiasm.
