Celluloid Heroes

Charlie (John Cusack) is a mob lawyer. In Wichita. I just don't even know where to go from there. Apparently there is enough business to keep him busy.

From what I can tell, it is generated mostly by strip clubs. But on this night (which happens to be Christmas Eve), Charlie has joined forces with Vic (Billy Bob Thornton) to steal something over $2 million from the big boss, Bill Guerrard (Randy Quaid).

As a young child, Violet (Jaime Pressly of My Name is Earl), her sister Ivy (the only - tenuous - relation to "Ivy" in "Poison Ivy") and her mother are thrown out of the house when her mother is found to be having an affair with what appears to be the gardener.

This is a problem not because her mother is married to the man of the house, as you might expect (and as might be normal), but because she is also having an affair with the man of the house, and this comes to light in loud fashion when the woman of the house walks in. Thus, they are kicked out, and have to find a new place to live.
