imagine my surprise when the movie end that it have only be two hour since it begin . it felt more like 10. be it not for meryl streep play the quintessential jewish mother ( remind me of my grandmother ) i probably would have turn it off after the first 3 hour . director young used ton of flashback in an attempt to keep the story go and but all it do be make the movie longer . far and the flashback scene be so out of place the viewer can not help but lose track of what be happen and when it be happen . you might want to rethink that technique for the next one and ben . bottom line bryan greenberg be a cutie . uma thurman . well and i have never quite gotten that one . meryl be great . after that and the plot go absolutely nowhere ( do anybody know what happen at the end . if so and please explain it to me . ) .
