    • Quotes

      Cory: [Cathy looks at painting of an action scene] Where's the sun? It's still night?

      Cathy: [runs over, softly speaking and grabbing his shoulders] Cory, don't!

      [she turns him around and they are away just in time for Grandmother to come in with the basket of food]

      Grandmother: [resigning] Your food.

      [children run]

      Grandmother: Uh, uh, uh! Get your hands off that. That food has to last you the entire day.

      [they run back to Cathy and Carrie hugs Cathy]

      Grandmother: I can't be running up and down the stairs! The servants might get suspicious. There'll be eggs for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch, and chicken for dinner. And I want you to eat all of it. Don't waste one bite of it, you understand? And if you're very good, I may bring you some fruit.

      [Christopher comes behind Cory and puts his hands on his brother's shoulders as Cathy is now doing with Carrie]

      Christopher: [sincere, serious] Thank you.

      Grandmother: I've written out a list of other rules. First of all, you'll keep this room neat and tidy. As if nobody lived here.

      [Cathy nods]

      Grandmother: No running around or yelling or crying.

      Christopher: They're good kids, but they need somewhere to play and make noise.

      Grandmother: [walks away] Ah. Over here, there's a... stairway. Leads up to the attic.

      [opens the door and shows the stairway]

      Cathy: [Bewildered next to a only slightly bemused Christopher] You want us to play in an attic?

      Grandmother: [Walks away] Up there, there will be ample room. And, the last Friday of every month, you're to clean out all of your things and hide up there while the maids are cleaning this room.

      [Christopher nods]

      Grandmother: No one must ever see or hear of you. Do you understand?

      [looks to Cathy and Christopher sternly and all nod]

      Grandmother: Good, good, 'cause if your grandfather ever discovered that you're here, you'd all be thrown out without a red cent. But not before getting punished for even being alive.

      [she walks away and Christopher readjusts his arms around Cory]

    Generic, glossy, and bland
    FLOWERS IN THE ATTIC is an ill-advised reworking of the classic Virginia Andrews novel about a grandmother keeping her grand kids locked up in the attic and the trouble which ensues. The film was already made, memorably, back in 1987, so why the producers felt the need to do another generic version I have no idea.

    And I wish they hadn't: everything about this version of FLOWERS IN THE ATTIC screams play-it-safe predictability. The more shocking aspects of the novel are merely hinted at and what we get inside is a slick and glossy production with zero power. The only interesting performer here is the reliable Ellen Burstyn, tackling a horrid character with bravado, but the rest are terrible, particularly the young actors who are completely devoid of charisma. A sequel, PETALS ON THE WIND, followed.
