Jane was right (possible spoiler)

Rating: 1/10 (22 May 2000)

I don't know where all the high praise came from. The story was quite predictable, the acting was passable(certainly not Oscar quality, I think Kevin Spacey came across as a better actor in "A Bug's Life") and (possible spoiler!) you could see the ending coming 20 minutes before it got there. I think Jane summed it up nicely early in the film when she said "Pathetic". If you want to see a dysfunctional family movie worthy of the Oscars it won, see "Ordinary People". Not a black comedy (?) but a far better film.
