1. Doreen Piggot (played by Lily Tomlin) is a waitress who accidentally hits a young boy named Casey (played by Zane Cassidy) with her car. Devastated by the incident, she visits Casey in the hospital regularly, feeling remorse for what happened.

2. Casey's mother, Marian (played by Julianne Moore), is a talented yet troubled woman. She works as a clown for children's parties and is often emotionally distant from her husband, Gene (played by Fred Ward). The accident puts further strain on their already troubled relationship.

5. Howard, a successful television commentator, is struggling between his intense work schedule and the demands of his family. His wife, Ann (played by Andie MacDowell), is frustrated by his neglect and begins to question their marriage. Their disagreements become more prominent as the film progresses.

6. The baker (played by Lyle Lovett) becomes increasingly irritated when the family fails to pick up Casey's birthday cake from his bakery. He starts making harassing phone calls, further intensifying the family's emotions during this difficult time.

7. The film features several other subplots and characters, including a troubled phone sex operator (played by Jennifer Jason Leigh), a police officer (played by Tim Robbins) involved in multiple affairs, and a musician (played by Tom Waits) dealing with a troubled marriage.
