Title: Save your time and money
Review: A reviewer in The New Yorker lamented why this movie did not win an Oscar for the Best Picture of the year, even though Hathaway won one for the Best Actress. Reading that piqued my curiosity enough to watch this movie in Netflicks.What a mistake!, many of the reviewers here were right on the money; the movie is tedious, too long , and I am sure a tripod (or a steadicam) was never used in any of the scenes (and it shows). Some of the dialog was clever, witty and poignant- maybe a total of five lines in total-and all the scenes were way too long. Attending a dinner rehearsal such as this one would have put me to sleep in no time, the father was portrayed as a spineless doormat without anything to say, was always crying, however, the ones who truly shined through it all were the mother and Rachel. They were strong, in command, and they were well aware how dysfunctional this family truly was. Don't bother with this "feel good-poor Kym" movie.
Is the review positive or negative?
