Review of Brooklyn Lobster (2005) by Thomas P — 18 Dec 2015
NOT a comedy, and only a one note drama with one note characters.
Bickering family bickers at each other.
No compassion, no forgiveness, no laughter, no tears.
Horrible.
Just like diet pop - it should be sweet, but you can tell it's artificial, and any sweetness is overpowered by the bitter aftertaste.
Depressing small movie about a family business that is failing and the crumbling marriage of the parents who are otherwise trying to hold everything together.
They angrily cuss like sailors throughout at each other - the grown kids too, and there's nothing to endear Any of them.
So, sadly you don't care about the characters, the family or the business, so when the cliche ending comes together and all is well, you are left feeling glad it's over.
I hated it, stupid one note characters.
Even tho I otherwise like Jane Curtin - in ANYTHING else.
Such a disappointment here.
It gets one star for the one note story, one note characters, and one note emotional response.
