my problem with this movie be that i expect it to be hilarious . with it incredible cast how could it miss . but miss it do and badly . hank azaria . piper laurie . debra winger . glenne headly . famke janssen . rip torn . ( not enough rip ) and zooey deschanel . in truth and i enjoy all their performance while i dislike the dialog and direction . almost everything seem contrive at best and force at bad . the surprise weren not very and the end could not come soon enough . the character that be mean to irritate me do and most of the others do as well . a a survivor of a dysfunctional family and i enjoy df comedy while this one seem long than my childhood .
