Review of Welcome to the Rileys (2010) by Christopher H — 02 Feb 2011

"Welcome to the Rileys" is nothing flashy, but it does have heart. Who knew that Kristen Stewart's acting career would peak as a sixteen year old, fowl mouthed stripper? It appears that Melissa Leo is the "go-to" lady for stellar performances lately and even James Gandolfini is subtly moving in his mellow on the outside, restless on the inside performance.

The leading roles come off entirely lifelike and genuine, making you feel as though you are a part of an authentic moment of these character's lives and that is why this film ends up working so well.
