Saw this on IFC last night. One poster on the MB explained to another poster that the movie: "serves as a take of how seriously the Hollywood 'citizens' take themselves to the point where they can't function in their own lives without something industrial." So what does that say about Alan Cumming and Jennifer Jason Leigh, who were responsible for this pretentiousness? "We're whiny, indulgent, self-absorbed, elitist twerps, but we KNOW that we're whiny, indulgent, self-absorbed, elitist twerps"? Okay!
Cumming and Leigh as a couple was even more laughable than Cumming admiring the flat-chested Gwyneth Paltrow's "great t*ts"! With the Latina help absconded in the kitchen as though they had been grounded, their lily-white employers and lily-white guests play games, jump in the pool, and get blasted on Ecstasy while spewing the most insipid filth within earshot of the kids one couple foolishly hauled along with them!
Steve Rhodes, whose reviews I usually agree with, called the scene in which Phoebe Cates tells Leigh that once you have children, you can't commit suicide because "kids rob you of that option" "a bitingly true commentary on parenthood"; I call it idiotic! Ernest Hemingway, Sylvia Plath, Kurt Cobain, Diane Arbus were parents, and they committed suicide!
If I were the dog, I would have ran away from this house, too!
