Petunia

I just love quirky, independent and weird movies and the fact that two psychotherapists are clueless as to what even constitutes happiness was a question often brought up in my own graduate psyche classes. Charlie was simply adorable and he was actually the "sane" one in the family. What's the purpose of being gay when you don't want to engage in gay sex? Why did Micheal get married to a girl who obviously didn't love him to begin with and why the never ending list of "if I did this, would you still love me?" This family is sort of Addams family and weird and the ending is cool. I wonder how long it will take before George gets tired and wants to move on. Come on, a mother psychologist who suggests that a guy sexually assault her son is pretty whacked. I loved the craziness of this family and those they come into contact with.

It was a funny movie.

This movie had promise by looking at the trailer. But it didn't live up to it in any way. Thora Birch's character was rotten to the core, hard to watch, hard to believe, and the acting was awful. The actor who played the son Charlie was good. The mom was awesome. But they had no support from either storyline or other actors. Skip this movie, you'll never get those two hours back.Plus, it streamed VERY slowly from Amazon. Every time I needed to stop or rewind, I waited for several minutes (like 5 to 10).

Not since the since 'Soap' on TV has their been such a riotous, campy satire of the 'Big Apple!' The shear momentum of this film will keep you on your toes!! Whhat is so great is the way both Gay and Straight events are so intertwined. NJMJr!!

They seemed to be mostly boring people and I contemplated stopping to watch it...with the rape joke being the deciding factor to look for another movie.

This is truly one crazy but after another I love love loved it and you will too. This film is so crazy funny you'll have to switch it over and over again to catch the little amazing things:-)

Loved it .... sick, disfunctional family .. all of who's problem inter-relate in a wonderful story ... with a surprise ending ... great entertainment

I rarely stop a movie before the end, but halfway through this "dark comedy" I checked my vital signs. I was cringing every couple of minutes but didn't laugh once. The film was neither dark nor comical. It was crass, over-the-top edgy, and populated by thoroughly unlikeable characters. I didn't care a whit what happened to any of them. So, I did the only humane thing and pulled the plug on this mess.

A delightful film about real-life situations and complications regarding human behavior. Thora Birch gives a wonderful performance along with the rest of the cast. If you're looking for a real 'smiler' of a movie, this is a very good choice. At times "moving", at times "hilarious", and at all times.....very "realistic" in it's portrayal of life.

This is an example of a movie that just doesn't live up to it expectations. I saw the trailer for it and thought it looked great. But when you put all the pieces together it's just OK or a little less. Sorry, I really wanted to like it.
