Dark film dealing with death and infidelity. Dad is out of touch with his children. Family bickering with a teenage girl being rude & ugly is not that fun to watch. Do people find this entertaining? Seemed slow and dull to me. Halfway through I wondered, "What's the point? Is this leading anywhere?" It seems aimless. This film does not measure up to other 2012 Oscar Best Picture nominees like The Help, Margin Call, Midnight in Paris, Moneyball, and War Horse. Those are all far better films. Skip this one, and watch one of those instead! Apparently, somebody connected to this film really knows how to play the Hollywood/Oscars politics game, to somehow get the awards this turkey generated. Not recommended.
