Theatrical Release Information:
Will & Grace: Season 06

Picking up where Season Five of Will & Grace left off, Season Six begins as gay lawyer Will (Eric McCormack) awaken from a drunken evening on an ocean liner to find themselves naked and in the same bed--but with no recollection of how they got there. Simulatenously, Will's straight interior-designer roommate Grace (Debra Messing) has stumbled upon evidence that her doctor husband Leo (Harry Connick Jr.) is cheating on her; and meanwhile, Grace's newly widowed business partner Karen (Megan Mullally) is somewhere in the middle of the ocean, stuck in a life raft with her former maid (and Jack's former wife) Rosario (Shelley Morrison). Once this situation is ironed out and everyone (except Leo, still in South America with Doctors Without Borders) is back in Manhattan, several new complications spring up, among them the revelation that Leo's former girlfriend (Mira Sorvino) is also the only woman that Will has ever slept with, giving Grace two more reasons to seethe with jealousy. Also, a revenge-bend Karen begins searching for Britisher Lorraine (Minnie Driver), the woman who broke up her marriage with her late husband Stan; ironically, Karen ends up engaged to Lorraine's zany father Lyle, played by an uncredited John Cleese! And elsewhere, Will reluctantly moves in with his recently disabled (and impossible-to-live-with) mother Marilyn (Blythe Danner). But, wait, there's more! Will falls for gay cop Vince D'Angelo (Bobby Cannavale), while Jack, newly graduated from nursing school, takes up with Will's client Stuart (Dave Foley), whereupon Jack and Stuart become the first clients of new business partners Will and Grace, who have launched an apartment-refurbishing operation. Most of the one-shot guest stars this season appear as themselves, with such noteworthy exceptions as Geena Davis, who is seen as Grace's freeloading sister Janet. Otherwise, Barry Manilow plays Barry Manilow, James Earl Jones plays James Earl Jones, and so on. In another cliffhanger season finale, Karen elopes to Las Vegas with her new love Lyle, coaxing Jennifer Lopez to sing at the wedding; and the long-overdue reunion of Grace and Leo is scuttled by a freak accident! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
