Is it a waste of time?


I read most of the critical reviews and the first page of user reviews saying how bad of a misfire this was but is it bad that despite all that I still want to see it because of the great actors they put together? Do these actors only make these ensemble movies because of getting to work with so many other actors regardless of the quality. I was wondering is it a complete waste of time to sit through this, does it have any redeeming value?

Yes, it's a waste of time. It's not funny, so it fails as a comedy. And it's not interesting or emotional, so it fails as a drama.

Exactly the two comments above. It feels like it is just trying too hard on all fronts, and it misses some opportunities to at least be a successful comedy.

Probably would have taken less time to watch the movie than the time you spent researching it LOL

It is a great story for learning how to be dysfunctional. I have not seen the ending so I can only guess that it ends happily but I think no ending could possibly undo all the dysfunctional behavior. A better movie would be one that shows people how to do things the right way. This is pretty much a typical dysfunctional family gathering.
