Ben Sachs Chicago Reader 10/02/2014
This tepid indie comedy lacks a consistent tone; directors Tom Dolby and Tom Williams can't decide whether to satirize or sympathize with their wealthy, self-regarding characters. Go to Full Review
Moira MacDonald Seattle Times 09/25/2014
2/4
A flat drama filmed at a house that's more interesting than most of the characters. Go to Full Review

The characters flutter about, argue and flirt, but they are simply too bland and vacuous to make much of an impression. Go to Full Review

Tom Dolby and Tom Williams provide an entertaining Left Coast version of a Long Island Gold Coast lifestyle. Go to Full Review

4.5/10
If you've been to Lake Tahoe, you know that people like this are in great abundance. You also know that you probably wouldn't want to watch a movie about their petty squabbles. Trust your gut. Go to Full Review

So much great acting is wasted on this pointless film about the woes of the very rich. Go to Full Review

vander a 01/28/2019 this is an awful movie - no point - movies are required to have some sort of point - why would you sit through 2 hours of someone else's life if there is no point - this is like watching your boring neighbors have people over - it's awful See more 09/29/2018 I agree with rotten tomatoes score. A shallow story and silly script. See more 12/23/2016 Very subtle but engrossing storytelling for me. I can see why other people don't care for it, but it's charms worked on me. See more 03/14/2015 It offers a beautiful setting (Lake Tahoe) for a banal story. As a mother, albeit not rich, I can relate to the main character's feeling of abandonment and being misunderstood, undervalued and unappreciated by her (spoiled and privileged) children. However when she relaxes and softened her stance, it all becomes easier and more pleasant, even if only for a day it so. See more 03/01/2015 The movie drags and is pointless See more 01/23/2015 Patricia Clarkson is the ONLY reason to bother with this cinematic mis-step. None of the characters are developed, but worst of all -- it is impossible to like any of them. It feels like the movie should have been satire, but it seems to think it has something to say. ...It doesn't. Other than Patricia Clarkson is a great actor. See more Read all reviews
