Belongs on tv. Ordinary People appears a maserpiece alongside this tv-like melodrama of divorce in which nothing happens. Poor little middle-class boys... aw. Mommy doesn't love Daddy anymore. Sniffle. Jeff Daniels looks way too buff to be a famous author for that time and Laura Linney emotes... like a squid.
Of course, like all mediocre films, this one has at least one extremely wrong note: SPOILER COMING:
After Linney laughs in the husband's face for suggesting they try getting back together the older son gets mad at the father. Not very logical.
Two extremely good reasons to see the film, however: the breasts of the older son's girlfriend. Wow.
Anna Paquin shows she justifiably has been absented from films since a few successes in her younger years.
For the Linney fans: see Diane Keaton, Jill Clayburgh, Meryl Streep in their "bitch" roles and compare. It's not a favorable exercise to Ms. Linney. She's a B actress, no more.
