No real meaning as to why or what this movie was about, a big waste of time, very pitiful movie from beginning to end....the family is very disturb

This was a great movie however I felt like it could be the beginning of a series in the likes of United States of Tara or The Sopranos. The flow of the movie while good, did lend itself to feel more as a series than a complete movie, however the story in itself does have resolution.What can I say? There is lots of dysfunction, humor, and especially experimentation all set in the 60's. Character-wise, at the head of the family is a sociopathic, ex-army dad who has to always be the center of attention, the seemingly vegetative alcoholic resigned wife, and the three daughters each having a very interesting dynamic to the father. One plain despises him, and I felt she was more of a representation of what the mother could have turned into had she still had her resolve and mind; the other was the brains, and lastly was the 'innocent' and beautiful daughter. Great mix of characters. Highly entertaining
and I feel more movies should draw on character devlopment rather than special effects with no plot.

The acting in this movie is really good, and the directing and writing is really well done on a scene by scene basis. But overall the story was lacking real drama, didn't have anything to say, and was stuck in a stasis until the very end. A character driven movie without anything else to really recommend it.

It was weird, as the film progressed, all I could think was that I was going to hate this movie by the end, and oddly enough, it came out pretty good. I think they are calling this a comedy in the old fashioned Greek style, where everything is all effed up in the beginning but works itself out by the end. So it's not necessarily funny, it's just that you take from it an uplifting sense of hope.

that sucked! what waste of space on hulu.
