Imperfect people, lots of lies, and endings as promised.
I love Don Roos’ big-hearted sense of the people, even when his jokey plotting drives me a little crazy. Stellar performances by Lisa Kudrow and Maggie Gyllenhaal, and a surprisingly menschy turn by Tom Arnold.

in Yiddish (which I don't really know)
“mensch” literally means a man, a person…but “to be a mensch” has come to mean being a big-hearted person. Menschy, to me, means big-hearted.
I hear menschy a lot, but I’ve lived in New York (where I think a lot of people, even if they’re not Jewish, know a smattering of Yiddish) for a while, and have in-laws who speak some Yiddish.
One might also say that Tom Arnold plays a sweetheart…
