Every family has secrets. They never claim to be a perfect and happy family. Everyone has their separate and sordid lives and that's what I loved.

reply

Yeah, this kind of sh!t happens, in real life. Must be that the OP just doesn't want to know about it or see it on film.

reply

The OP is in deep denial about all the things that have happened in his own family history. The family in this story are probably healthier than those with lots of secrets because they are open and honest with almost everything they are doing...they are communicating about these things, helping one another with these issues and moving on and making different choices. Healthy is taking action in spite of how messy everything is rather than burying problems and keeping issues secret and repressed.

Wow. Look at all these offended daisies, after what you said OP. Looks like their families are also wacked and they want everybody to relate by force

funny, the thing that i liked the most about the story is the couple taking each other back after they had strayed.

Agree these comments make no sense. Sure families have there sins but the thing that hurt this film and kept it from being a Juno , or 500 days of summer was most of the family was unlike able . Except the oldest brother . You had a dad who slept with married women , left his pregnant wife to get laid some more, had a mother a married woman leave her family for some younger fitness trainer then leaves him at the end, a daughter who sleeps with literally a guy a night , shocked she had no std. Who literally was cold and being buthurt about her boyfriend trying to be nice to her mother (mostly cuz he's about to lose him mom) she doesn't talk to him literally abandons him while his mother dies and surprisingly picks up the phone when his mom does die. (She better have felt guilty for those weeks, I'm sure his mom asked to see her again and the reason she hates her own mothers guts is cuz she's abandon them for another man and she abandons her own Bf cuz he was nice to his girlfriends mother.) no wonder the oldest brother smoked weed was not very sociable and went back to a junkie girl who left a party they attended together with another man. No wonder he's anti social, gets High and has low self esteem his family is literally all messed up.
