The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected)

Boring, not sense no story just c*ap not interesting stupid stupid story painfully to watch, I have feelings that this good actor wanna make movie..like they desperate for earning money and promote yourself...absolute wasted potential of them!

Keeping things low key from beginning to end, the story presents a realistic family dynamic that's subtly dysfunctional. The ridiculously star studded cast all offer up believable, understated performances, and it's easy to find the characters relatable. The film stays so true to life that it can occasionally get a bit dull. I'd say for the most part it hovers just above being boring, but I could see someone who's used to more fast paced fare consider it's dry delivery to be a tedious slog.

It's a very good movie: story, atmosphere, characters, lines, actors of course. As I'm italian, I can't tell why. But you can read what wrote who liked it, and trust them. Or trust who didn't. But remember that we choose to like or unlike, so it's too easy (and childish) write things like "the worst", "two hours I'll never get back" or other stupid unoriginal but thinking to be original stuff. We have to dive into movies. They are an escape from serie, like healthy food. If you prefer fast or sugar food, you're welcome. But save your time from poisoning our water. We are swimming.

There were several things I really liked about the movie: the chemistry between Adam Sandler and Ben Stiller, Dustin Hoffman's performance, and the big surprise was how good Elizabeth Marvel was as Jean.

However, there were more things that held the film back as a movie including random, overdramatized dialogue which at times was meaningful, but at other times was painful to sit through. I enjoyed the focus on the characters but the plot didn't complement this exploration enough.

One reviewer said it was Manhattan and a Jewish family, that covered it. My family is not from Manhattan nor is it Jewish and I saw us in this movie. It's a mirror of families everywhere and every color in every place. We all have "that" father/grandfather, "that" mother/stepmother, "that" sibling. Or cousin or uncle or or or. We all know that family and have lived with someone like them. It was nice to see that We are NOT alone!!
