With a dash of good music and some dark comedy moments, this one is not too bad. The subject matter was interesting and true, but it fell a little short on plot points, direction and climaxes. If you like drug movies, this is for you.

Too depressing

A tirelessly uneven dramedy with depressing (and severely depressed) characters that are lost in a valueless script; the acting is fine, especially by Annette Bening, but I can't imagine anyone enjoying or being enriched by anything here. Final Grade: C-

If only all families were this dysfunctional

This movie is ok. I expected it to be a lot different. I think a 19 year old played a 15 year old. And Gwyneth Paltrow was a 33 year old who I think was supposed to be around 20-22. The liberties the director took ruined the movie, but hopefully his next film is better.

You'll poke an Eye out

I don't know exactly where to go with this movie....because I don't know really where it went.

Don't get me wrong though, I did really enjoy the movie....I just don't know what to think.

There was a lot going on where there wasn't quite a lot of story really. No real conflict/solution type of plot going on.

But where it lacked in "closure"...it made up for with GREAT characters.

Each character was different and had their own quirks and it made for a very off-the-wall movie with interesting people played by very capable actors.

A recommendations with you want to see just how many different type of characters can actually exist in a movie and compliment each other very very well.
