i do not know whether they give oscar for casting and but if that be the case and the person responsible for cast for this film must be at least a nominee . i be just amaze how such establish actress a lange and paltrow have be agree to take part in this plot be thin than silk paper film ( blackmail . while > ) . every scene be predictable and the story itself have be tell thousand time . there aren not any camera angle that make you say wow and nobody thought of that before either and so the end result be very average . i be all too aware about the existence of bad mother in law and so this one just do not cut it for me . negative .
