i dunno how many people here this film would appeal to or not. it looked SO promising, written/directed by the same guy who did the squid and the whale...and same sort of family dysfunction focus. :p however, this flick....LOTS of excellent actors - nicole kidman, jennifer jason leigh, jack black, cieran hinds....but completely under-utilized. some good ideas/dialogue...but just fell apart, and also too weighed down with it's own self-importance. such a shame, i really looked forward to it's release and so wanted to like it but yea.....flat.
Stay with me...

    Quick...someone call Roger Ebert...
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    yea, it definitely got mixed reviews. as i said, i just 'wanted' to like it, and had to see it...due to the actors involved and the writer/director. i had hoped it would surprise me, or i'd disagree with the naysayers b/c that does happen...but yea, this time....pretty much all the comments, positive and negative, right on the money.
