Oliver Platt is the real opponent of Catherine Keener in this film ("Orange"), Oliver gives the biggest impression It is a golden supporting role of a fat man who is hard to stand and often has to crawl through the mid-life crisis. I started this "sporty guy" from Eddie Murphy's "Doctor Dolittle", and then he has "explicit" performances in "Hala Ten Commandments", "2012" and "Year One". And in "Please Give", I finally got through the mid-life crisis (derailment) in another way, making the fans scream and enjoy it (the figure of the dead fat Oliver in Jackie Chan's rotten film "Zhongxin"). In this film, Oliver Platt once again interprets the image of a failed middle-aged man, who is lost in life, has low taste, cold husband and wife, and children who are not in harmony. It has to be said that Catherine Keene and Oliver Platt, the grief-stricken and grieving woman face, are enough to support a movie about American social family ethics. Unfortunately, these two people are not enough to laugh.
The male protagonist Hugh Laurie's image of a loving father in "Little Rat" is deeply rooted. Although his face is not as good as the above two, the plot design has a tendency to jump. Not "Dr. Howson". PS: With the appearance of Hugh Laurie in this film to interpret this kind of plot like "Mature Man, I Love You", we still understand and recognize the heroine's aesthetic ability.
Adam Brody needs no introduction. The image of the high school meteorite who made a cameo in Smallville is still vivid in my mind. The Christmas comeback after his departure in this film brought a big laugh, and his image of a boring diaosi added a lot to the film.
Leighton Meester's "Gossip Girl" series is hot, and the movie is less involved. He is impressed by the veteran tragedy face Steve Carell's "Date Night". In 2012, he became an Adam girl in "Dad's Good Son", but he still hasn't gotten rid of it. The image of the vase in this film is much better than the previous work (referring to the movie excluding TV series).
In terms of plot design, it has creatively subverted the traditional American style of mid-life crisis, and the film's gentle rhythm is also different from the traditional three-stage flexible style of American films, which is in line with the conventions of family films, not explosive income, in short, not It's hard to tell if the director is an independent filmmaker or a TV producer.
The soundtrack is mediocre, and the presence is weak. The narration is deep and powerful, with a sense of drama.
Five star movie.
