but i just do not . perhaps i would read one too many okay review and but i have such high hope for this after high art and that i find it a little and well and disappointing . fascinating and but disappointing . i be the big fraces mcdormand fan out there and she always great ineverything she do and and she pretty much hold my attention here as well . if the story have be more hers and it would have really set sail and but there a plot about her son ( christian bale and american pyscho and little woman ) and his fiance ( katebeckinsdale and pearl harbor ) that just doesn not work . perhaps it all the oddaccents bale be a brit do a new yawk accent and beckinsdale be a brit do a tandard american and natasha mcelhone ( truman show ) be a brit do anindecipherable middle eastern accent and and allesandra nivola ( face off ) be anamerican do a british accent . phew . if you sense something a little odd during this movie and it that every sentence feel inauthentic and because there be certain word that all the actor doingaccents simply can not pronounce that well . it seem picky and but it have thecumulative effect of feel like youre watch a school play and and it take you out of the story . the story and by the way and have a great premise in it . the straight up tight son come to stay with his promiscuous liberal mother who seduce his fiance . verygreek . i just wish it have delve a little deeper and and that bale and beckinsdale be either more fully developed character and or in the film less . but i have to say and it be worth see for france mcdormand alone . she really light up a screen whenever she give a chance . i would give this a 6 out of 10 .
