Anybody seen this movie before? I've watched it once or twice and its on FX tonight. I love the cast and the house they filmed it in. :)

It's a really good movie IMO.

    the movie was good, but i didn't love it. it kind of reminds me of the series Brothers and Sisters - love that show! ;)

    Is that the one with SJP?? If so I quite enjoyed it.

    The part where you just want her to shut up :eek:


    If not just ignore me :p

    that's how i felt. i didn't dislike it but i didn't love it. pretty decent movie, tho, i wouldn't see luke wilson's character getting together w/ who he did at the end (sorry, don't want to put any spoilers)
    standin above the crowd
    he had a voice that was strong and loud and
    i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
    eager to identify with
    someone above the crowd
    someone who seemed to feel the same
    someone prepared to lead the way

    I watched it on FX tonight as well. Not a fan of SJP but Rachel McAdams and Claire Danes make up for her. I forgot how sad the ending is about Diane Keaton's character.

    This is a good movie. I enjoy the way the "brother" brings out the fun in SJP's character! Sometimes someone that works too hard or thinks too much needs a balance and it takes a special person to bring that out! :)

    I thought this was an awful movie.

    The charcters were all loathsome, the story weak and the script shockingly bad.

    It's one of this rash of comedies in recent years that aren't nearly as clever or funny as they think they are.
    A democracy on paper, apparently well ordered, regularly subverted by irrational chaos.

    I like it cause it's about a family coming together and to terms about one of their love ones. Something I really understand alot about right now.

    It was an entertaining movie.
    These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.

    i'm a fan of that scene and the one where diane keaton's character and her husband are together....i think that's the best most shocking breast cancer scene in any show or movie. i actually cried, it was bitter-sweet. :(

    ultimately i didn't like how the movie turned out, but patrick is right, it's about family....and like i said, it reminds me of Brothers and Sisters. patrick you have to watch that show, you'll love it. of course right now they're showing reruns but the season will start back up in the fall and you can catch up for free on abc.com. ;)

    Sorry....I didn't realise this was a thread only for people who loved the film.

    Maybe I just didn't get it, maybe I come from a completely different family background to that presented in the film, it just did nothing for me.

    Each to their own of course, hell.....I thought Speed Racer was a great film which most folk seem to have hated but the only good thing I could find about this film was that Rachel McAdams wears a Dinosaur Jr t-shirt.
