Director Patrick Sisam merely cherry picks his favorite moments of dysfunction and eccentricity, failing to provide any sort of reasonable argument for Christopher's zombified mental state. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

06/21/2014 Loved watching Sharon Stone. See more 01/06/2014 An interesting cast is swallowed up in a complete and total misfire. See more 12/24/2013 Lucy Liu is the only good part of this movie. See more 04/28/2013 This movie had a few too many flashbacks for my taste, and it was pretty uneventful, but I've always been a big fan of Jimmy Fallon, so I'm glad I saw this movie because it proved his dramatic acting ability. See more 02/10/2012 I thought this was a very convincing story. Patrick Sisam did a wonderful job a with bringing out the child's perspective to the family life. The child's different memories to what happens in the family and what that perspective does to the adult child's choices in life. I'm not saying it's a perfect film but it is worth a watch. www.what-to-watch.com See more 06/23/2011 Silly, but sweet. It is a rather quirky movie and sometimes that is good enough.
