Part way through w/out even knowing I knew this script had to come out of N.Y. (and/or environs) based on personages in that area being obsessed w/dysfunctional relationships (must be the water). That and their other obsession which is rom-coms. Still another scripted older male w/young attractive "assisting" female providing the family (and beyond) with discord. Inane dialogue. So over-acted it was distracting (especially the expressive not-so-nuanced facial contortions). Further, to make the film has a heartbeat higher than near death they added some moronic piano key notes (as if tapping w/one hand). Ughhh!
