- Quotes
Marcia Prior Glass: I suppose I fared better than Andrew who had to hand his balls over to father... only one pair allowed in the house at a time, you know. After father died, Andrew got them back but strangely enough he keeps looking for someone else to give them to. Olga and I passed them back and forth for a while but we really didn't want them... He finally found a real taker in Nancy who it seems had been looking for an extra pair for quite some time.
Marcia, Irene, Olga and Andrew Prior (Maria Bello, Erika Christensen, Mary Stuart Masterson and Alessandro Nivola) are four sibilings that live in modern New York all with their personal issues and with a seemingly perfect family life but on the inside full of contrasts. Especially after the death of their father (Rip Torn) there will be the occasion that will reunite the three sisters because every family has their own dark secrets (as the Italian title for this says).
The first part wasn't bad I admit it. All the cast members (Bello, Christensen, Masterson, Nivola, Torn, Tony Goldwyn, Chris O'Donnell and Elizabeth Banks) did their best with the material given, and I bet they liked to starring in something based on Chekhov. But as the movie progressed, and especially in the second half, there were too many conflicts and the characters behaved so nastily between them that it made me lose my interest, and if it wasn't for this I would have given it a 8.
Overall, if you are familiar with the source material it's a must see but for others... only of interest if you love scenes of characters bickering to each other or movies about conflicted families.
