Last year's Oscar, "Road to Revolution" created Kate Veslet's great achievement in the Golden Globe "Double Crown Queen". Six months later, Sam Mendes brought his new film. The style of the poster shows that at least here you will not see the cold setting of American home furnishings, and everything seems humorous without losing warmth. Sure enough, the movie is as easy and funny as expected. It is rare in the past few years. It combines American humor, family issues, and road movies.
A couple over 30, with six-month-old belly, learned very sadly that the mother-in-law and father-in-law decided to go to Belgium in 3 months for the last two years. They have been adhering to the "children’s closeness They, relatives or friends, decided to embark on a journey to find a future family environment for their children. Along the way, they found their aunt and sister-in-law, their college classmates, and finally their brother-in-law, but found that each family has its own problems. After all, they returned to their mother-in-law and father-in-law who passed away 10 years ago. When they opened the back door to face a turquoise lake, they found that this was what they were looking for. By the way, for some unexplained reason, this woman with a big belly rushed around, never accepting the proposal of her bearded husband, even at the end (SHE'S NOT THAT INTO HIM?).
Despite the constant jokes along the way, Sam Mendes still took us to peek into the family life constructed by the younger generation in the United States, with various problems emerging one after another. Of course, this kind of movie finally ended on the warm card. Sam Mendes’ magic still affects watching movies. You are always worried. Maybe the family will collapse instantly and push the movie to the home psychiatric institution that is never recovered. But fortunately, all worries about the future are based on A humorous presentation of the present, and a metaphorical presentation (such as the pie house filled with syrup). If you don't think about it, the experience of watching movies this way is still very relaxing.
Perhaps it is precisely because this film has played a big role in American humor (a variety of high-quality or vulgar American humor films have been popular in recent years). The film does not seem to push the plot to an expected climax, instead it turns to a warm and light sadness. In the end, this should be a place where the sense of rhythm is relatively lacking. But 90 minutes passed in a flash, it is indeed a wonderful experience, 4 stars recommended.
