Review of Two Family House (2000) by Alex C — 26 Jan 2009

The most underrated film of 2000, and one of the most underrated films of the decade. Honestly, I don't even remember when it came out, but I must say when I finally got around to watching it, I was happy that I did.

This is just a beautiful, well-told story of Buddy. He's a man who's in a marriage with a wife he can barely stand and really doesn't love, but tradition keeps him tied to her. But then he meets and falls in love with another woman who's man left her, and left her pregnant.

Buddy is a good guy and he doesn't want to leave his wife, who although a little bitchy, is also a genuine person. But in the end he makes the right decision for not only himself, but the two women he has feelings for.

And the narration in the film, as it turns out at the end, was a great way to tell this story. What a sweet little gem right here.
