(2011) Another Happy Day.
DRAMA/ COMEDY.
Written and directed by Sam Levinson which is anything but happy. Co-produced and starring Ellen Barkin as Lynn, driving with her two kids to her parent's house for an upcoming wedding of her oldest son. And by the time they're there, the family squabbles are off with accusations from suicide, to drugs to incest and neglect to whatever you can think about. Barkin is not bad on this role, but she cries on one too many scenes. Also starring are Ellen Burstyn as the grandmother, George Kennedy as the grandfather, Demi Moore as the wife of the Thomas Hayden Church character as the ex, and Kate Bosworth as the estranged daughter who tried to commit suicide.
Not much resolution here as viewers had seen something like this already done before.
2 out of 4 stars.
