A shameful depiction of family and individual dysfunction.

Rating: Null/10 (3 October 1999)

I went to this film expecting to see a movie about the challenges of family life in America - not the good aspects, but also not a warped view. Instead, I was presented with a view of life as it's led by people who are morally bereft, loaded with disrespect for their family members, and an amazing degree of self-centeredness. If I hadn't been with friends, I would have left halfway through the movie and not been disappointed at missing the ending. The movie wasn't worth the discount matinee price, and it certainly isn't worth normal admission.
