The name is very misleading, I expected a chick flick and got a well it wouldn't be appropriate to say the type of flick I mean.

The story of the perfect family, that's not so perfect when you look closer.

Lets see, where to begin... Oh, that's right with the bad dialogue. I mean the dialogue works and is good but the execution by actors is less than perfect. The acting at times is boring and the film altogether is slow.

Kevin Spacey has been in a couple films I really enjoy and that suck you into the experience. Still I must say I was sucked in, bored at times and very intrigued at others.

If you are the type of person who enjoys films that are straight forward and predictable, this is your movie.

7 out of 10.

Nothing wrong with that, I enjoyed it as well but at times was disappointed by the dialogue . They do a good job with character building though which makesup for the dialogue when it spins into the gutter.

Although the ending is a little bit of a let down and leaves it unresolved, he does tell you at the first what is going to happen and you look out for it the whole film.

I think the film was incredible, the shots and emotions that they are able to create are amazing. I'd give this film a 9 out of 10.

Brilliant flick... one of my favorites, actually. I might take it in tonight now that you brought it into the foreground.

It had so much depth within the characters and at the same time you really get the feeling that all of this could happen. It really could.

You have the big picture teens, who see things the way they see it and think they can pull off anything superman can't.

You have the ill fated marriage, put on to impress the community.

The husband who takes it all on the chin until one day he can't do it no more.

The movie deals with so much and really comes thru with colors not seen too often in american films. I really do love this flick and rate it almost as high as Magnolia or Lost in Translation, to me, it's that good.
