Depressing & humorless, a black eye on dark comedy.

Rating: 1/10 (21 February 2000)

I was never so disappointed in a film in my life. I walked out of the theater feeling dirty and betrayed, having this awful taste in my mouth (no, it wasn't the popcorn). This film is a piece of depressing garbage, as far from enjoyable as you can get. I'd rather sit thru a root canal. Even writing about it makes me feel disgusted -- Kevin Spacey and Annette Bening should be ashamed to put their names on it. What a waste of good talent. If this is what we're supposed to think the American family is like, God help us all.
