  It's scary how believably Marty (and the viewer) gets sucked into the hermetically loving vacuum of family.

  This film didn't do much for me. A brother comes home with his finance to meet his family, a sister who thinks she is Jackie Kennedy and is in love (More then Brother Sister type love) with her brother, flips out and tries to do away with the fiancée. Its from the 1997 Toronto… More

Its from the 1997 Toronto International Film Festival. One of the few not so good movies from this festival, but you might find it enjoyable and funny. Me well I can only muster up 2 1/2 stars.

  A highly variable movie with its own individual peaks and valleys. It's a pleasure to watch indie queen Parker Posey act, for sure. It is she that gels the humor in just the right way so that it's not too awkward or too uncomfortable. The relationship is just messed up… More
  A highly variable movie with its own individual peaks and valleys. It's a pleasure to watch indie queen Parker Posey act, for sure. It is she that gels the humor in just the right way so that it's not too awkward or too uncomfortable. The relationship is just messed up enough that it works. But the movie is too long, and too little amount of events happen that make it a solidly "good" movie. The story is indie original, but it's not a completely well-thought out one. The tone is there and strong, but the finely honed details are lacking. Sadistic, vicious, ridiculous, but uneven.

  YES! This movie was quirky and interesting, with a strange family in a mansion. Fun in a weird captivatingly demented way.

  Pretty decent adaptation of a darkly comic stage play...up until the second half when it becomes stagnant. Posey, Bujold, and Rachael Leigh Cook as Young Jackie-O are awesome. I wanted to see more blood though. More blood in the figurative sense (Jackie-O kills Marty in the end.… More
  Pretty decent adaptation of a darkly comic stage play...up until the second half when it becomes stagnant. Posey, Bujold, and Rachael Leigh Cook as Young Jackie-O are awesome. I wanted to see more blood though. More blood in the figurative sense (Jackie-O kills Marty in the end. The final tableau of Jackie-O cradling her brother/lover's head in her hands is supposed to be an incredibly poignant moment in the play but the film didn't include it, and that shows how the adaptation hit all the funny parts but somewhat glazed over the deeper insanity and turmoil in this whacked out family) and literally (more ketchup and macaroni on Jackie-O's dress). Favorite line: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA

• Drew S

  
  Annoying movie. Overly self-conscious, funny very rarely, and poorly adapted from the play.

• Leigh R

  
  Very odd, but so entertaining...

• Michael G

  
  Not that great, but not that bad. And indie movie you can't bring yourself to get excited about.

• Quinto W

  
  Very witty, has some great dialogue and Parker Posey delivers one of her funnest, wackiest and best performance. Supporting players are also great, even Tori Spelling and that dude who married Sarah Michelle Gellar.
