This movie reminded me of Girl interrupted. Not because of the contents of the movie or anything, but because that was the movie where I discovered Angelina Jolie could do more then strike a sexy pose in hot pants and a tank top as she saved the world from another unbelievable plot of destruction. This is the movie where I saw that Anne Hathaway is more than a grown up Disney Teen. She managed to portray the confused, egocentric Kim in a way that she is very likable even when she’s stupid or annoying. Excellent.

The movie as a total is interesting, I like the weird relation between the girls and their mom, and the whole hush hush attitude towards the family’s history. At times the movie does lose its speed a little, the start is a bit slow I felt, but all in all a very interesting movie I very much enjoyed watching.

While Ann Hathaway was actually quite excellent in this film, the overall movie was just not. It was like watching some stranger’s home videos. Three words- Uncomfortable, Boring, Tragic.

I love chick flicks, this is not one.

What i love even more than chick flicks are good heartfelt dramas, this is one. An event of a marriage combined with the ever intertwining family history/drama. The characters will captivate you, they have depth and personality. The camera work is marvelous.
