The Ice Storm

Older characters good, younger ones not so much

A good and engaging story for the most part. The adult characters of Kline, Weaver, Allen, and Jamey Sheridan, as the two married couples, are very believable in their roles as frustrated, bored, and longing characters. If there's a weak point to the story, it comes from the younger crowd of Maguire, Ricci, Wood, and Holmes, who mirror their adult counterparts but come across as unbelievable due to a too-cool-for-school characterization that engages in more eye rolling the interest. Would have been a much better pic if the focus had been mostly on the adults.
