User Reviews

Quirky Inde Comedy hits all the quirky Inde requirements much too obviously

Quirky- screamingly so- Japanese film made in English in Canada about three siblings dealing with the death of their mother. Ray, the oldest, is a scientist who is cold and calculating.Maury, his brother is a concert pianist who hasn't played or left the house in years. Their sister is in college and looks down on everyone. They are living with their grandmother from Japan who can't speak a word of English.

You either buy the deadpan quirkiness or go insane. Actually it's every Inde comedy cliché rolled into one movie (well almost everyone)

I like it but it's awfully forced....to the point it kind isn't all that special nor all that funny.
