if you be among the imdb audience that put high fidelity in the all time top 200 and then this movie probably be not for you . this film be as unhip a steve frears be self consciously hip . renee zellweger be excellent a a hip urbane magazine writer who return to her suburban buck county nest in order to care for mother streep ( who deliver yet another hall of fame performance ) . william hurt be ideally cast and the feckless and faithless and and egotistical husband . if this movie doesn not move you to cry and laugh and then you be much too hip to enjoy it .
