I agree with Bare. Saw it today and thought it was a very interesting psychological study, very thought provoking. There are a lot of dysfunctional families, but I doubt if any are as articulate as the Westons. Julia Roberts was the sanest of the lot of females of the family and she was a mess (Chris Cooper was sanest of all). It reminded me a bit of the psychological dysfunction of Burton and Liz in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolfe". FWIW my wife and the other couple we saw it with hated it.
