Programmer's Pick
Drop Out Wife is what happens when marital malaise meets the realities of the swinging scene—less titillation, more sobering letdown. Ed Wood Jr. co-writes, so you know there's a certain anything-goes sincerity behind the polyester sheets. This is suburban disillusionment with a heavy pour of 1970s sleaze.
