Chaos strikes when the dysfunctional siblings of a college professor (Matthew Perry) arrive at his doorstep.

Not very convincing or funny.

Ends up feeling more like the season finale of a fairly interesting, somewhat derivative HBO series than stand-alone screen fare.

A stunningly short (79 minutes) experience, but nevertheless a crushing one, exploring hackneyed suburban woe elements with a decidedly detached tone that alleviates any need to pay close attention.

Rated: D+

It's not quite funny enough to appeal as a rom-com, nor quite darkly comedic enough to satisfy ...

Rated: 2.5/5

Won't ruin the plot, would like to say that most charachters are fairly grounded and dealing realistic problems. Has some funny moments and warm ones. Acting seemed very normal

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I like most of the actors in this movie....but I honestly felt like I wasted my time on this. Can't even come up with anything to say....

if you are gonna live totally outside the line.. Birds Of America It starts off breezy and light and gives us high hopes but somewhere before the climax it goes down and struggles before it dips too low to even bare it.

Some Truly 'One Of A Kind' Moments To Be Found Here. Don't Go In Expecting Much & It Gazump's You With The Surprised Aspect Of Kookiness That Works On The Twisted Side Of Humor We All Have.
