Simmer slowly. . . Out of stock

The only feeling after reading it is: such a good cast, but made a meal!

Obviously, the screenwriter wants to make a multi-act tragicomedy of a big family. Like the best films in history, the characters are full of flesh and blood, and the plot is full of dramatic tension. Small complaints bring big troubles. The details see the skill. The conflicts gradually accumulate in the conflict. Finally, the conflicts erupt and the climax returns to family harmony. ...
With the help of the typical characteristics of these literary and artistic films, a large number of excellent family ethics films (Ice Storm), warm comedy films (for men and women), and even black humor films (Death at a Funeral) have been produced. The audience can find all the above elements one by one in these movies.
In contrast, this film seems to be the same. The first is the plot: a big family with three children and two daughters, the last Christmas of the terminally ill mother; the gentle eldest son, the domineering prospective daughter-in-law; the second son is not only gay or deaf, and a black partner expects to adopt the next generation; the eldest daughter already has one Female, pregnant with another child, but her mad husband is nowhere to be seen; the youngest son of an otaku, with nothing to do, hands and feet, and marijuana to survive; the youngest daughter of Shier B, a good first-year boyfriend; don’t forget, there is also a little elves...
look Look at this subject! Terminal illness and hospice care, love triangles, same-sex marriages, racial issues, the rights of people with disabilities...Any one can be a big book, each pair is full of drama conflicts, the burden is full of pits, and multi-line narratives interact with each other. Think of it as a pot of thick soup. It's a pity that these good ingredients are lost in the process of making this film. After 100 minutes, only a pot of medicine residue is left!

Too many themes make the story up to the point where you can’t hold the fat, and you will find flaws everywhere. Too many characters distracted attention, not only did not enrich the story, but greatly hindered the advancement of the plot and character creation. As a result, none of the subject matter developed and ended in a hurry; everyone was flat enough, neither cute nor worthy of sympathy; the foreplay was not well laid out, and the climax scene was even more impossible to talk about.
In fact, the eldest sister's family can be chopped off; the father is optional; GAY Couple only provides a GAY topic, and the rest is totally absent. Two men and one woman are enough. The question is, seeing the hexagonal face of my little brother Luke Wilson, I have no love at all. Can I change it to someone else? (He will also play this year's American version of Death at a Funeral~)

Let's look at the actors again-this is the biggest cup: all of them are powerful, everyone has a play, but there is no chemical reaction at all, or the reaction smashes the pot. Needless to say, Diane Keaton, the old drama bone, belongs to a gentle and firm woman who plays everything herself. In the film as a terminally ill mother, her indifferent to life and death, attachment to his wife, and reluctance to children are her strengths for scoring points. In fact, because of the lack of explanations of the characters, the emotions come and go, and I am a little headless.
Back then, when Shimizu came out of Lotus, Claire Danes carried a pair of small wings, raised her delicate face in the moonlight and whispered "Romeo, my Romeo", singing three sighs, which touched the hearts of so many men and women. Eight years have passed, and Claire, who has become a junior, has a face full of vicissitudes. Although she will not be late for the beauty, after all, there is no other way but the red flakes are left. As soon as he appeared in the front, he really fell into a big horse, and in the back, a cowardly prospective brother-in-law betrayed his sister. He didn't have the cleverness to perform the role, but instead brought out some dullness. Only one blonde hair is a plus.
However, one of the biggest selling points of this film is Sarah Jessica Parker: Seeing Sex and the City females, how to interpret the white bone spirit, does her fans have a sense of anticipation. However, the audience only saw her thick powder makeup, her fashion was gone, and how she was almost acting like a costumed village girl. When nagging and complaining, it makes people want to slash, and when Chuchu is pitiful, it makes people want to kick. No wonder she yelled "Isnt anybody loves me?!", I was the only one who was happy-oh, wrong, and she yelled at the mushroom "I didnt know!" When her face looked like JJ~
With "Detective Sherlock Holmes", "Love Notebook" and "Time Traveler's Wife", Rachel McAdams is only a short distance away from the first-line red stars. It's a pity that the challenge to the bitter little daughter failed this time, which is as annoying as her role.
Dermot Mulroney was named second in Gary Grant because of the popularity of "My Best Friend's Wedding", with elegant temperament and handsome features. Unfortunately, his successor was weak. The role of the eldest son in the film not only didn't make him come back, but he won the title of "badhearted man".
Craig T. Nelson, a professional dad, is also a familiar face. I just watched his performance in "The Proposal"-Sandra Bullock won the best actress of Chrysostomium (corrected: the one who got the golden raspberry was "All About Steve" in the same year).
Even the most insignificant eldest daughter is a face-changing girl in GA: She was originally a soy sauce character, but she just lasted season after season. The strength is evident.
It is not easy for you all to have contributed so many celebrities together, it turned out to be a big movie.

In the end, this is the second work of director Thomas Bezucha. The first is a gay film; he is also a screenwriter for both films without exception-finally I know why this film is so bad!
