One of the worst movies I have ever seen.

Rating: Null/10 (5 May 2000)

Only out of limousine liberal Hollywood would you have a movie where every family is screwed up except for -- SURPRISE! -- the nice gay couple who live next door.
The acting was awful. Both Bening and Spacey, who are usually terrific, go in and out of a cartoonish, surrealistic acting style into a more realistic style throughout the film. If this was the intent of the director, it didn't work for me.
For a really imaginative, well made film about screwed up people, check out Magnolia -- the movie that should have won the best picture of 1999.
