I am not a big fan of Posey and her early movies, she always seem to play these annoying brats who are clueless as to how obnoxious they are. But she's perfect for this role. This is not an ordinary brat, this an entire family in which each own is looking out for themselves; the family and their house is sort of their ever lasting playground, where few impulses are repressed. Until one of the brothers decides to bring his girlfriend home for thanksgiving…

Parker's performance is so nuanced it's strangely hard to ignore You don't know how far someone like this will go to keep a fixed routine state of mind This is super short but all the players involved are completely in tune and that's some effort there

Poesy is great but it is too gross to be funny.

"The House of Yes'' is a comedy. And a pretty funny one, too.

Unless you think drawing-room re-enactments of JFK's assassination beat Pictionary as a party game, it's best to say no to the achingly arch comic satire The House of Yes.

TV Guide

Bujold is as good as ever, but the real surprise here is Spelling: Slack-jawed and dewy-eyed, lids forever at half-mast, she's perfectly cast as a lamb among wolves, and her naivete is strangely affecting.

Rated: 3/4
