This movie was enjoyable, but there
was nothing special about it. There were comical moments nestled in between my
confusion over keeping the characters straight. This is due to casting. I feel
the sons and daughters looked more like their neighbors and so when one father
starts having an affair with the daughter from the family across the street, I
had a hard time remembering which woman was the scorn wife and which was the
upset mother. There was a surprise ending, as the young woman who was involved
with the man her father’s age decided to not travel down path A or path B and
instead pave a new way for herself. I appreciated her decision and I feel it
showed growth in the character.
