This is a great movie to get a taste of how the rest of the world's families probably exist, at least in some ways. Of course, Hollywood has to spice things up past the point of normalcy, but you can see bits and pieces of your family in there and if they included it in a movie, it must be fairly common. Neurotic, depressed, gay and lesbian, just about every flavor of individual can appear in our families and when everyone gets together the conversation and interaction can be worth filming. It is always nice to see Patricia Clarkson in a movie - bravo to your success. (Go O.P. Walker) A new movie called Eulogy (2004) with Ray Romano carries a very similar plot and to see one is to see them both.
