This movie is dark, but there are many humorous and quirky moments all the way through. Thomas Haden Church's character is the perfect counterpart to Dennis Quaid, and Ellen Page shines as always. This is not a wonderful movie, but it is worth seeing once if you are a fan of any of the cast members.

I consider it a reflection on how people can be such snobs.... I loved the "loser" brother....the only sane one in the family.

What a stinking bore-fest Is all I can say about this movie. Don't waste a "queue" on this one.

I liked Thomas Haden Church. I didn't quite buy into the characters. I was waiting for the point in the movie at which I would like them, or come to understand the attractions they had for each other. Kinda quirky and funny, but not great.

I rented this movie because Sarah Jessica Parker was in it and I really like her. The scenary is drab and the movie isn't glossy and fast moving but with that said, the acting was excellent and I enjoyed the movie. The sense of humor is a dry, whitty one. The characters are intellectuals and there are moments in the movie when I actual laughed out loud.

Slow and dull.There was no connection between dennis quaid and sarah jessica. Didn't even get their so called relationship. Ellen page was great but overall the movie wasn't worth much.

This movie was really boring and dull. Ellen Paige was cute and had a couple funny one-liners but I expected more with such an experienced cast. SJP and Dennis Quaid's relationship was weird and made no sence. And then there was the odd relationship between Ellen Paige and her uncle. They were trying to go for an independent "smarter then you" feel (which I love) but totally missed the ball. Don't waste your time.
