I made myself watch the whole movie, but this is not my type of movie. I have seen this type of movie done well but it's very rare. So here is the summary: Girl thinks very highly of herself. So she surrounds herself with other people who think highly of themselves. Only to realize they are all full of BS. The other side of the fence is "I'm just as weird and f-ed up as everyone else."
So you get to choose between authentic weirdos and pompous a-holes.
And that is what she does at the end.
This is supposed to be a comedy but I only laughed out loud about 2 times in the movie and chuckled about 5 times. Pretty low on the comedy scale.
To me the most memorable character was the brother. His development might be enough to recommend the movie, but his screen time is very short.
Annette Bening is still as talented and beautiful as ever. She really looked great in this movie. She played the selfish mom "but I'm trying so hard..... oh, is that for me??" very well.
Matt Dillion? GAG. Useless in this movie. They could have cut him from nearly ever scene and it would not have made any difference.
I guess the moral of this movie is, "With enough alcohol anyone's life can be fun."
