Don't Judge my Intelligence by the Amount of Stars I Gave this Horrid Film.

Okay. This is probably one of my favorite books of all time. I can't even begin to explain how they screw this up in the movie. I sat down, EXCITED and watched this film, and got up DEPRESSED and wanting to cry. It wasn't as if I was depressed by the sad content of the film, but the quality made me physically ill. Don't waste your time on it. The only reason why I gave it that one star is because the book deserves ten. The actors in this movie couldn't work out of a paper bag. I kept screaming "Where's Keanu!?" and "Why! Why!" I wish they wouldn't of made "Beans..." into a film, because this book is the one book I wanted to turn into a movie. And I think that with my minimal movie making skills, mine would look like "Citizen Kane" compared to this elementary garbage.

Dull and episodic

Maybe if you're in the right mood, you can get into the rhythm of this movie, but episodic is the best description. No one story line feels really developed. Characters come and go, make speeches and die, all to no effect.

quirky but touching

This is a really good indie film, about a chaotic family that lives across the street from a rigid fundamentalist and his innocent daughter. The daughter watches them, wonders whether she should become part of them.

The plot in many ways is extremely banal, but the acting and the unusual dialogue make this a good film, an interesting character study. Martha Plimpton is beautiful yet plain, kind of blundering along in life. Kelly Lynch is beautiful yet not together, looking for something better. Rutger Hauer is a strong character, the absent head of the sprawling family.

What happen at turns funny and sad. I loved it.

Recommended warmly.
