I saw this movie the other day, and I hadn't heard about it before, so basically I thought the advertising for it wasn't all that great. But when I watched it, I found it to be similar to the way a real family would act.
John Cusack is not in is best performance by any means, but I felt that he portrayed a good depiction of a man who has just lost his wife. The sisters acted like real sisters would, fighting with each other, annoying their father, saying "are we there yet" every 10 seconds. This is what made me give the movie a 7/10, which I believe is deserves.
I did have a couple of problems with the movie though. When Cusack takes the family to his mother's house, where was she? Is it just the uncle who lives there? And I found the oldest daughter to be quite disturbed, even before her mother passed away.
