Okay, so I've become a superfan of Philip Seymour Hoffman, so I was very, very excited to get this movie from Netflix. I read a user review about the movie, and this individual was disappointed that the movie was advertised as a comedy. Was it? I don't recall.
Anyhow, I think the background of the brother and sister plays so beautifully with the message of the film: life is tragic, life is funny. Life's absurd.
Additionally, I was on the brink of tears for 90% of this film. My grandparents both passed away after spending time in a nursing home, and Jon's (PSH) speech about nursing homes really hit home. I can understand his point of view in hindsight, and I can also understand Wendy's (Laura Linney) horror.
The ending's kinda "meh" but it's still a good flick.
My rating:
4/5 OR "Really Liked it"
