Little Children is a smart drama that presents the interrelationships of a host of broken people. The fractured characters allow for moments of beauty amid the frayed humanity and these moments are made more poignant by stellar acting from Winslet and Wilson. Jackie Earle Haley is insane in a career restarter as a penitent pedophile. |

An absolute piece of trash. Never mind that ever single character in this film is a degenerate piece of garbage and the movie is often slow and self-important. What is truely disturbing is that one of the main points of this movie is that society is too mean to child molesters and sex offenders. Really? |

Great drama that is smart and satirical in it's analyzation of adults that may still act like children once in a while. Jackie Haley's character turns out to be the most endearing, while teetering on the line of likability the whole time. |

Rich, sharp, multi layered and sharply observational adaptation of Tom Perrottas novel.
A brilliantly complex pseudo love story which interweaves between the life's of Suburbanites living out a mundane and highly flawed existence.
A powerful and mature film with a first rate screenplay and acting that is off the scale, Little Children is one of the finest American kitchen sink dramas ever. |

Good Suburban Life Drama |
|
This is definitely one for the more mature audience. I thought this was a good movie. It had that Desperate Housewives kind of feel where everything looks good on the outside, but on the inside everything was in shambles. It was a good story and told in an interesting way. The voice over was a little weird. I don't know how I feel about that, but it was still an interesting story. I thought the problem with this movie was the development. You didn't seem to really know any of the characters. There were akward parts where stuff happened and then you never heard anything more about it. I feel like there should have been more. I also don't know how I feel about the ending. I mean, I suppose you can figure what happens, but I'm sick of that abrupt ending in a lot of these movies. If a movie i... |

Fascinating Suburban Drama |
|
I love films about suburbia because it's mostly funny to see so many depressed people in one area. Although this one had its comical moments, there were a lot of serious and fascinating character studies. It started off really well because of the filmmakers' astute way of using narration. Such a technique allowed me to understand and relate to the characters that much faster, and therefore understand their choices later on. I thought Kate Winslet was perfect as mother that is unhappy about her marriage so she decided to look for excitement. I completely believed Patrick Wilson as a stay-at-home dad with clipped wings. And I wanted to know more about Jennifer Connelly who played a working mother who has no idea about what's really hapenning at home. Somehow, everything felt right even thou... |
