Everyday People

Remarkable naturalistic drama chronicles how the lives of a group of racially diverse characters intersect in a beloved Brooklyn diner over the course of day. As the establishment's owner prepares to sell the business, his employees and regular customers─including a bitter ex-con, a disillusioned single mother and an African-American yuppie─are forced to deal with how the restaurant's closing will touch their lives. Winning ensemble cast includes Jordan Gelber, Reg E. Cathey, Stephen Axelrod, Bridget Barkan, and Ron Butler. 90 min. Widescreen (Enhanced); Soundtrack: English.
