who all loved it? i thought it was superbly brilliant and totally fantastic , not to mention true .i would have loved to have lived it.

I tried to read the book, but it was kind of depressing..

I don't know about the film, but I love the thing.

I escaped somehow. Let's go

actualy [sic] I have quite a blessed life if I'm honest. I have many people to love, hate few and have few money problem's [sic].... What more does a person need? Oh yeah and I have some kind of humbleness unlike you of course ^_^ ~ CarefulCarpenter

it kind of felt forced, like too odd or weird. it tries too hard to be this weird suburban family comedy a'la american beauty. and some scenes were awful. annette bening started to annoy me. evan rachel wood was beautiful but her character too felt forced, when she cries on the phone and stuff. gwyneth was wasted. only jill clayburg affected me slightly. and i didn't like that the gay scenes were too tame, as if the actors were scared of doing stuff. but it was okay, i guess. it reminded me of this film called white oleander, which i preferred.

i read the book and didn't even know there is a movie.
i liked "dry" better. very funny book with really sad moments.
