Well made
18 February 2007
Well made and as usual with Rudolph great care taken to ensure very genuine performances from his cast. For me Denis Leary just nicks it but then I prefer his sharp and direct approach to the more diffident lead couple. In fact if there is a criticism here I think it is that the couple do seem just a little too much like they are sleepwalking through their marriage and are waiting for a kick up the backside. That's the point though I suppose and direct confrontation would have upset the narrative. I also have to say that a film featuring vomiting children (even if they all perform exceptionally well) AND active scenes of dentistry makes for some hill to climb, if I'm not mixing too many metaphors. Well meant humane film making tackling subject matters others would shy away from.
