Review of The Daytrippers (1997) by Maitland Mcdonagh for TV Guide Magazine — 28 Jun 2001
First-time writer-director Greg Mottola has a real feel for characters, a quality that's in disturbingly short supply among young filmmakers. The Malone family could easily be a one-dimensional collection of sitcom caricatures, but by the movie's end they feel like real people.
He also pulls off a tricky shift of tone, from pleasant, mild comedy to something far more bitter and haunting.
