A somewhat different view of my experience

Rating: 10/10 (12 October 1999)

Billed as a Comedy, Drama. It's often difficult to find out where the appropriate parts to laugh might be. Is it the new neighbor kid when his dad is abusive or the spoiled brat of the suburban couple, not likely the friend I watched it with had such a father and I had a step daughter like that who gave her mother a nervous breakdown, these scenes weren't "funny". The focus of the discussion, after the movie, related to what parts were deemed inappropriate to laugh at. Even I laughed at one part which my friend thought wasn't right. This movie can be enjoyed at many levels. Audience reactions will differ depending on where the movie plays. This ones a definite yes. I recommend it highly.
