Meet Adam Webber (Brendan Fraser) born and raised in a bomb shelter with his mad scientist father (Christopher Walken) and his sherry-swilling mother (Sissy Spacek). Adam's simple childhood has been filled with Perry Como records, The Honeymooners re-runs and good old-fashioned family values. Now, 35 years later, Adam is about to emerge into a bewildering modern world in search of supplies and a simple girl from Pasadena. Instead, Adam meets Eve (Alicia Silverstone), a modern LA woman, jaded about life and burned by love.
