i find this nearly unwatchable and indeed and i be not sure i have pause a movie in tivo so many time to go do other stuff . if youre a fan of cringe induce embarrass moment this may well be a fantastic movie for you . if youre like me and find these kind of thing not so much funny a sad or painful and probably not . i watch it largely on the strength of holly hunter and kathy bates and two of my favorite actress . kathy be fine and but be not really a main character . holly get a lot of screen time and get to play an interesting range . if anything and what i be call the fourth act make it all ( possibly ) worth the wait . it an exciting and nasty turn and and for me it be the payoff for what would otherwise be unmemorable . the fifth act be a pretty standard wrap up .
