2010 drama
Rating: 12/20
Plot: A grieving couple demonstrates questionable decision-making skills following the loss of a child.
"So somewhere out there I'm making pancakes? Or at a water park?"
In some ways, this is heavily-written John Cameron Mitchell drama adapted from a David Lindsay-Abaire has some nice subtle touches, but the goofier, more obvious moments kind of stomp all over those. Nicole Kidman isn't her best here, and neither is Aaron Eckhart, mostly because they're required to act so much. It's a lot of acting.
I did laugh once. There's a moment when a character laughs inappropriately after somebody says "Hi, guys. My daughter died of leukemia," and I laughed right along with him.
Fruit Roll Up product placement.
