Hi all - I just watched this movie and really liked it. Each character is very developed and interesting. McLendon-Covey is compelling and very relatable. I'm curious if anyone else noticed similarities to American Beauty? It's almost as if this story is the American Beauty storyline told from a totally different (but equally as interesting) perspective.

This film is a story, not more not less. A story like you might see people living through in a world of complacency and normalised relationships. and then the story, as most do, changes and we are thrust into a world of interesting relationships and twisted fantasy. If you like film you'll like this, if you prefer movies then go see spiderman. Enjoy

This was uncomfortably funny at so many moments when you could see each character wrestle with their fears and insecurities. The way the middle age adults assess what they have done with their lives. The way the teenaged girl feels so alone and isolated from her parents, even as they try harder to keep their desperate grasp on her. The actual storyline is a bit cooky, but in the end this was about what we have and what we yearn for. This is heavy stuff, wrapped in a thin but tough layer of comedy.

Intriguing and funny drama about life, about facades, and how things can and do unravel despite our best efforts to keep everything under control. Excellent performance by the lead actress. Very, very good film. The low ratings are baffling, I really wonder what it would take to please most of these reviewers. They probably think Citizen Kane is garbage. Ignore the bad reviews, give this one a try, it's a couple of hours well spent.

If you're in the mood for a funny and poignant examination of a whole slew of uncomfortable moments for Moms and their feelings about several different crucial areas of middle class parenting then this would be for you. Gets pretty trippy and equivalently hilarious at moments. The examination of addiction is especially worthwhile.
