Good, but super-boring


It just drags, doesn't it?

super boring is never good, i didn't find boring just stupid.

The problem with the movie is it didn't know whether it wanted to be a comedy or drama. And it failed at both. Plus it seemed like it wanted to make the point about consumerism being bad and pressuring you to "keep up with the Joneses" as evidenced by the neighbor who committed suicide, but the movie seems to then blow that off and ends on what, family is the most important thing? It was just too all over the place for me. And yes, mostly boring too.

I didn't think it was boring at all - it was a satire drama...

I dunno, I really enjoyed it. I felt like the premise was very fresh and original, and the ending kinda fell apart...but for what it was...pretty good movie.
