The story line wavers between hokey (which I can embrace under the right circumstances), ingenious (as in so unreal it HAS to be the product of someone's truly demente...er, vivid imagination), and unremittingly predictable.
Another ending might have salvaged this twisted romance-masquerading-as-dark-comedy. Instead we're served a predictable Hollywood finale where the older son (a psychotic mama's boy) actually gets a backbone, and the younger son (an amateur nice guy) gets the girl. There's even a baby cooing in the background. I felt the urge to abandon my dinner by the bedside.
Scenes, filming, and acting are mediocre at best. I can't tell if it's the script, the director, or the editing... and I don't care. This movie isn't worth 2 hours of your precious life. Don't bother renting unless you have a major thing for Ms. Barrymore.
