An upper-middle class family in Washington state deals with failures, infidelities and troubling secrets. Charley (Vincent D'Onofrio) is 26 and still lives at home, despite his simmering anger at his father, Edward (Peter Coyote). Charley's younger brother, Tom (Pete Berg), just dropped out of college and returned home to live. Tom's unstable new girlfriend, Marriet (Jennifer Jason Leigh), has designs on joining the family, but she's hardly a calming influence on the crumbling home.

What a great cast for such a rough, non-engaging script. It's all over the place, and the big "family secret" letters aren't much of a climax.

It was a tad longer then it should of been, all and all I thought this was a good movie about a fathers secrets, that came out in these hidden letters and in the end lead to tragic loss of family. Charlie is an ass, daddy boy will never fess up to it! I'm glad I ran across this and watched.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

If you want to see what bad acting is then watch this movie...just awful performances by otherwise decent actors. Juliette Lewis had the only performance worth mentioning....oh and that puppy at the end.

Crooked Hearts is a disappointing film. It is about a very troubled family beset from all sides by conflict, arguments and scandal. Vincent D'Onofrio and Peter Berg give terrible performances. The screenplay is badly written. Michael Bortman did a horrible job directing this movie. I was not impressed with this motion picture.
