My Tag Line: Family Is The Place Truth Cant Hide
Summary: A father now has to figure out how to deal with his two daughters now that their mother is in a coma. Of course there are personal discoveries and unrealized feelings...
The trailer for this film made it seem like it was going to be heavy - tears, long hugs, dramatic pauses, all that. But, despite the subject matter, it wasn't all that intense. I only got choked up one time - damn you George. In fact I think there were some missed opportunities for drama. No, not calling for screaming fits every other scene or dramatic revelation of family rape - not that, just amp it up a bit more. This is serious - make me feel it!
The acting was good all around. (Even that guy Sid did well.) The end left me satisfied so I say it was worth the money.
You'll love it if ... you like seeing George Clooney's emotional side
You'll hate it if ... you are disconnected emotionally
