The movie Fix redefines the term “fly by the seat of your pants.” In this film, Leo (played by Shawn Andrews) must attend court-ordered rehab by the end of the day, or he will have to return to prison.

Olivia Wilde of Fix - Interview

You just don’t bring up that Olivia Wilde was named #1 in Maxim’s Hot 100 list of nice looking ladies.

I don’t know if this speaks to the fact I don’t read Maxim or that the only reason I know who she was, before seeing the wonderment that is Fix, was that she sat in on a press conference for Tron Legacy at Comic-Con over the summer. So enamored I was to speak to Jeff Bridges that I completely gave...
