" Chris Pine has said that he identified with the complicated family dynamic in People Like Us. Pine stars in the film as a young man who must deliver an inheritance to a sister (Elizabeth Banks) he never knew, despite his mother&amp;#039;s (Michelle Pfeiffer) objections.   Discussing People Like Us with USA Today, Pine said he appreciated that director Alex Kurtzman&amp;#039;s portrayal of family life isn&amp;#039;t entirely positive. &amp;quot;What I loved about [the film], which was on the page, is that there are no golden pink bow ties by the end of the film,&amp;quot; Pine explained. He continued: &amp;quot;They all kind of still hate one another, and Sam doesn&amp;#039;t fully get along with his mom, [but] he chooses to love her for all of her faults.  &amp;quot;He and Frankie (Banks), they were all just kind of entering the town of people - almost becoming human to be like, &amp;#039;I&amp;#039;m screwed up, are you?&amp;#039; That was kind of the message of it I liked.&amp;quot; Pine also joked that People Like Us gave him a reprieve from his recent action roles. &amp;quot;After Star Trek, I did Unstoppable, and then I did This Means War, which were two not-small films,&amp;quot; he recalled. &amp;quot;I enjoyed making both of them and got chances to work with people I&amp;#039;d wanted to work with all my life. But... I never got into this business ever thinking that that would be the path I&amp;#039;d be going down.&amp;quot; Pine previously suggested that People Like Us contains a powerful message about family. People Like Us is now playing in US cinemas. Watch a trailer for People Like Us below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
