Surprisingly as many films as I have seen I have never even heard of this movie never mind seen it. So I noticed it was on Netflix instant watch so I watched it last night. First off Katie H. was just so damn hot in that film, she has a small role and is never naked but still she rocked.

Outside of her role of Wednesday on the Adams Family does Christine Ricci ever not play a messed up whore type? See Black Snake Moans.

The film was ok and I think American Beauty was inspired by this film. I enjoyed how they captured the seventies. The actual story itself was a little weak IMO. Maybe if I had seen it in 1997 it would have been "new" too me but at this point the dysfunctional family drama has been beaten like a dead horse. See Rachael is Getting Married for the latest version.

Now for a movie that made me cry. If you have kids watch Kramer vs. Kramer I bet you tear up. It is a very powerful movie.
