Has anybody seen this movie?
I saw it last night. It's one of the best movies of the year. And not to mention, it really has an all-star cast. Sarah Jessica, Diane Keaton, Claire Danes.
I'd be interested to see what you guys thought about this movie. I loved it!

Don't be such an ass. I was only pointing out that other people have seen it and you can see their opinions in that thread. After all you said "I'd be interested to see what you guys thought about this movie."

I haven't seen it yet, but I heard that there was some tragic twist that ruined the entire thing.

And if I have to watch Mrs Parker be all uptight for two hours, I'm gonna be pissed.

Just saw it and loved it. Performances are great across the board, and it is the most realistic portrayal of a dysfunctional family that I've seen in a long time - not over-the-top like so many movies portray them. Perfect casting with Rachel McAdams as Diane Keaton's daughter - they really look so much alike. Claire Danes is beautiful and really as wonderful as ever, and the whole cast shines. I laughed out loud and cried several times - it's a real "owner" for my list of favs.

I saw it the other day and thought it was really good. I couldn't watch like three minutes of it though, cause Judy Garland scares the sh*t outa me and they played her singing a song, don't remember which one though..

I saw this fil yesterday and found myself laughing as well as crying. It was comedic and very poignant at the same time. The casting was about the best I have eveer seen in a long time. However, Sarah Jessica Parker was brilliant...AHEM AHEM AHEM.

I usta have a friend that did that little throat clearing thing.Very twitchy.
I certainly enjoyed it but found myself thinking so many times of"The Philadelphia Story" esp w the "sleeping" error. ALTHO- when those characters drank thay had the decency to have hangovers!!

Just saw the movie today. If they gave an Oscar for best ensemble, this movie would win hands down! Not a bad performance in the bunch. This is truly one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. I fear that with such a strong group of actors and no clear-cut "lead" that Oscar will just ignore this fine film. At the very least, the screenplay deserves a nod.
