January 14, 2009Interesting indie elaborating on dysfunctional families, one that will give you a pleasant time, would you decide to watch it. Ben Foster is excellent as always, and so is Matthew Perry. The women of the cast (including Hillary Swank) didn't offer me any excitement. The scenario ...( read more)

November 21, 2008Note: As far as dramas about dysfunctional families go, this one is as awful as that sort of family can be in reality: unfocused, tiresome, self-important and, eventually, disgusting.
This is the basement of Hell.
Beware. -
October 23, 2008Jay: "People need to be jolted.
Morrie: No, people need to be comforted, and you don't comfort them by satisfying your own curiosity about breaking down boundaries and rules. Some people really like their rules, they've chosen them, and you don't get to choose what rules other ...( read more) -
July 25, 2009"But sometimes, sometimes kindness is wiser than truth."
A great, weird, low-key drama about three siblings trying to come to terms and accept one another for who they really are.
Great cast with among others Matthew Perry, Ben Foster, Lauren Graham and the amazing Ginnifer Goodwin. -
October 30, 2009Saw this movie, although from what I recall, it was under the title "Laws of Motion", which made it pretty much impossible to find online (I'm still confused by this). Like it, and would like to see it again. It's very real. I think it captured the dysfunctional family thing well.

August 23, 2009I really liked this movie. Thought it was funny, dark, and really interesting. Love indie movies. I think they are the best kind of movies. Love Ben Foster in this. Matthew Perry was great, and it was good to see him in more of a drama type film then comedies.. Loved Ginnifer Goo...( read more)

July 27, 2009Weird, but funny... at some points at least. But it's a bit too slow.

July 10, 2009Some might find it too weird and crazy but i love weird and crazy. I was entertained.

June 4, 2009I found this film a little strange, but funny. I liked the original script, so I was interested in seeing how much of the film differed from it. The cast (with the exception of the forgettable neighbour/faculty member Gary Wilmes) were all excellent - but Ben Foster owns this fil...( read more)

October 24, 2008This sounds like intensely sensitive subject matter......daring to combine all of these different elements.....Grieving is a long process...My father just died and it reminds me of my brother's sudden untimely death years earlier....Looking forward to seeing this one.
