Featured reviews
This is a film that personifies horrible acting, a poor script and just the biggest waste of time imaginable. It's listed as a "dark comedy" but really is neither of those things. It's time you'll never get back if you do watch it!
What will you learn of this movie?
a) Sex addiction can be cured if you get together with a woman that is plump. Plump means every girl with actual thighs qualifies. Because you will be so grossed out, that you'll never think of sex again. No, that is not ironic, just wait until the last scene of the movie, if you can.
b)If you're dieting and talking about it, it's because you have a problem, not because society will treat you like the plump girl above. The lesson is to be skinny and pretend to eat anyways.
c) Psychiatrists or therapists don't know what they talk about. Their methods are bullshit and they're horrible mothers.
d)If your marriage is down the drains you can restart it by taking Viagra.
e)Older women are hilariously vapid and ridiculous with their fillers and such. So same lesson here as in b) Look young and skinny and do everything for it, but DO NOT tell or you are to be made fun of.
f) If you do not want to have a kid or give it up, you're despicable and do not deserve or are able to give love! You must be portrayed as a drinking, heartless whore! What else could you be?
There are other characters, but they are too boring to even comment on them.
Basically this is a movie about how much the director or writer looks down on women.

Saw this on Tubi and laughed all the way through. Good acting and funny script. The humor is often counter culture, somewhat like the Munsters, where spreading dust in the Munster's house was considered "cleaning". Or planting grab grass instead of Kentucky blue grass was considered the most attractive option. In Petunia, we have a recently wedded young bride who obviously isn't ready to settle down and have a baby. Monogamy for her is a bad idea and she wastes no time sleeping around after taking her vows. The movie ends on happy notes. Word of caution....if you think the use of the F word is never funny, then DO NOT watch this movie. I didn't think it was over used, and where it was used, it was a hilarious.
This movie was really something else. I felt like I was watching a bad comedy and Director was trying to mix up all the possible dramas involved in a dysfunctional family -and in some way was kind of funny- but too hard to believe that a family was having so much issues and all of them taking it so welcoming as there was nothing wrong with it. This is what it happens when so much going on is added to the script but with the intention to make the audience laugh or find interesting and in some way sarcastic.
It still was ok, I enjoyed the movie!

This is a terrible, terrible, TERRIBLE movie! I didn't believe it could be as bad as previous reviewers said it was, but I was wrong. They were right!
I admire those who held out for 40 minutes and more. They deserve a medal! I hit eject at 9:32, after Christine Lahti (didn't she use to be good?) said, at her son's wedding, "Tell him his ear wax is making me nauseous." I mean, I'm from a dysfunctional family, but even we weren't ALL obnoxious morons like every single person in this horrible movie; and we weren't even rich!
Has there ever been a stupider screenplay than this? A more clumsily wasted group of actors? More incompetent direction?
This is by far the worst movie I have ever seen, and I've seen Plan 9 from Outer Space.
