Title: DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILY CLOYINGLY TIES ITS LOOSE ENDS..
Review: A reviewer here called this movie a 'vanity piece' of the Douglas clan. That's a bit harsh because many parts of the movie are actually quite endearing and could easily have been just about any family in a big city. The first 10 minutes leave you wishing for something to happen, a wish that unfortunately remains ungranted until the credits roll. Acting wise, it's decent but amounts to little. Younger generation, in particular Rory Culkin as a young kid and Cameron Douglas (Michael Douglas' real-life son) as a wannabe casanova tween, display an easy charm and grace that makes them watchable. I recommend getting a complete picture of the movie through its quicktime trailor, because the actual movie adds very little to that.
Is the review positive or negative?
