Melinda and Melinda Plot and Cast
At dinner with friends, Sy argues that comedy and tragedy are hard to separate. To prove his point, he spins two parallel stories about Melinda. Both share the same basic elements, but one treats her situation with levity while the other is steeped in anguish. In each, Melinda copes with a recent divorce through substance abuse and begins a romantic relationship with a close friend's husband.
