Title: Mildly amusing, but too scattered
Product review: A coworker recommended this, so I rented it for the Thanksgiving weekend. I was sorely disappointed. All the actors did a good job, however the underlying story just seemed too scattered to me. Very unfocused. The writer, director, whoever should have picked ONE angle and stayed with it. It would have been hilarious if it was just all the family's dysfunctional stuff. It would have been romantic if it was a love story between Claudia and Leo. It would have been sweet if it was the family putting aside the bad times and remembering the good times and rediscovering each other. Instead, we get ALL of this and, in my opinion, it was just a jumbled confused mixed stew. I'm sorry I wasted my $2.50 at Blockbuster on this un-funny hodgepodge.
