the actor do a really good job play their role particularly the mom . however and a the movie progress i find i be watch it more for their acting and not because i care in the least for the people . and and at time and i felt irritate by the irresponsible and hand off approach to parent display again and again . the daughter be a 17 year old shallow skank whose main ambition in life be bed famous men and become a dancing nyphette ( complete with lot of booty shake ) . the son be a guy with low self esteem that seem very desperate for a relationship and friend so much that he throw a drug party late in the film . the husband and wife be both bored and but rather than put energy into their stale relationship would rather seek out new partner ( though the wife pick poorly and a the man she throw herself at happens to be gay oops . ) . i just felt that all the character need to grow up and have a hard time care for such shallow jerk . i think the author attempt be to demonstrate the utter banality and hollowness of the capitalist system . however and give that these character be not typical of the average western family and it seem disingenuous .
