Supelice Dreadfully Boring

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Reno Rangan First thing, it was not your a typical film. Though it lacked the proper story structure. The concept seems silly. Like only for cinematically happenable. Since it is not about so serious, they had to cover all scenes, events within its classification, which were not bad actually. But the thing is, it is an R film with the majority of the cast was children. In reality, most of them were in their 20s, but the story wise, they are teens.A teenager decides to take hostage of her parents to teach them some lesson for not attending her sporting competition. Her siblings join, and a couple of outsiders too. It was not a well planned event of the weekend, so some unexpected turn takes. But how it all ends, the consequence of such undertaking, all told is the final quarters.A unique and an entertaining film. Despite lots of fun, there are some serious side too. Like awareness about the family unity. Being there for one another in all circumstances. Some viewers might get emotional too. In one of the scenes with a knife in the mouth, I scared that something bad could happen. Olesya Rulin was good. I hope she does more films in the lead. The film was four years old, so Joey was younger than her recent films I've seen. She's one of the next big star. Watch it if you are bored of regular comedies, yet still it is just an above average.6.5/10

SnoopyStyle Emily Smith-Dungy (Olesya Rulin) is obsessed with jump rope. She wins a competition at school but nobody from her family showed up. Her father Duncan Dungy (Matthew Modine) is a painter who hasn't painted in years. Her mother Samantha (Kristin Chenoweth) is always absent being the breadwinner. Her sister Lucinda (Joey King) is obsessed with movie acting. Her brother Jackson pretends to be gay. The youngest Mickey and grandmother (Shirley Jones) are the other family members. Neighbor Kat (Chloe Bridges) is Emily's sometimes friend and sometimes tormentor. Chris has a crush on her. She has had enough of her parents. She drugs them and ties them up to force them to confront their issues. When Samantha's assistant Rick shows up, Emily hits him over the head and locks him in a cage.This is another dysfunctional family comedy. The characters are certainly dysfunctional enough. The question is whether there is enough fun and importantly heart. The fun peters out as the broadly strange characteristics fade away. It tries to have heart but the movie is stuck in a house with melodrama. It's a lot quirky without the laughs.

RealVirtuality Having watched this twice now, I loved it even more the second time.The lead actress is extraordinary. The rest of the cast are inspired and committed. There are some shots that are beautiful, and it also makes some sense of all the crazy.A unique film, it made me laugh out loud, and it made me cry.I also loved the score.The Rope Jumping element was fantastic, and made me appreciate even more how much work she put into the role. Entirely believable.Also, the sister was hilarious, and somewhat reminiscent of Chloe Moretz first roles.And as always, Kristin Chenoweth was brilliant. LOVE that woman.Emotionally, it made me think about families, and about how relevant it was to my own, and many others, upbringing. Because Love.Loved it, will be looking for more from the writer, director and Olesya Rulin.

klaus-254-632336 Family Weekend is a a really fun family comedy with heart. The movie features surprisingly good acting all around, but Olesya Rulin steals the show!The movie centers on a high school speed jumper who's dysfunctional family lets her down, and her desperate attempt to write the ship before it's too late. Kristin Chenoweth and Matthew Modine are fantastically convincing on the dysfunctional side, and Joey King's performance is both skin-crawlingly creep and endearing and truly unexpected from such a young star.Regarding Rulin's, her performance is spot on, and he portrays both her strong competitive side and vulnerable side flawlessly. She engages and keeps the audience's attention, and though her character is weird and quirky, we all want her to succeed. To quote Kelly Golighty "She reminds me of Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady with a dash of Lucille Ball thrown in for good measure."
