Review of Life as a House (2001) by Nett F — 04 Jan 2010
Much better and simultaneously much worse than I was expecting. The whole film reeks of "I am trying to get an oscar, and I bet I will." But that's sometimes okay too. Hayden Christiansen's niche role as 'whiny confused emo kid' is played out to the hilt, Kevin Kline pulls your heartstrings as you know he can.
The rest of the cast is predictably endearing/mainstream quirky and as such are solid in their roles. One thing that irked me greatly though? WTF STAPLEGUNNING LIGHTS ONTO THE GORGEOUS TIMBER BEAMS?! AUUUUGH!! All that beautiful hardwood, ruined! ;_;.
