    I only went to this movie as a favor to a friend. We wanted to do a movie together, but we have EXTREMELY varying tastes. I would never have seen this had he not asked. And I'm SOOO glad I did. What a cute, darling little movie. My friend works with mentally retarded people and wanted to see if the movie would be appropriate for his "guys." He said that while the portrayals were not completely accurate, he enjoyed it as well.

    It stars Juliette Lewis and Giovanni Ribisi as the young couple, and Diane Keaton and Tom Skerrit as Lewis' parents. All give outstanding portrayals.

    Most of the newspaper reviews did not like the movie saying it was too sentimental, and strictly a vehicle for garnering Oscar Noms. I have to ask though, isn't it the dream of every actor to turn in a performance worthy of an Oscar? Clearly the leads in this movie studied hard. I'd vote for them!

    I'm glad you liked it. I was hoping at wd be as good as the trailers. I plan to see it this wknd.

    Damn PJ -- "The Other Sister" AND "Analyze This"! Yyou caught ALL the flicks this wknd/ huh?

    Well, I did rent "Permament Midnight" (a little sparse on plot/but Ben Stiller was quite good) & "Dangerous Beauty" (far better than expected/ esp.for a costume drama) over the wknd. But I zeeked on "Living Out Loud" & it's gone from the $1.50 theatre but not out on video yet!

    R.C., I got free passes from work to see "Analyze This," and a friend took me to see "The Other Sister." Know what trailer is looking REALLY good? Clint Eastwood's "True Crime."

    I kicked myself for not seeing "Living Out Loud" too.

    I can't wait til I buy a VCR. I'm gonna get SO caught up on my movies!!! Shit, I still got like 60 some odd movies from the AFI's list of 100 that I have to watch!

    God I completely forgot about the $1.50 theaters! I used to go all the time when I lived in Pontiac/Auburn Hills. Now I really can't wait to get out of the woods for a while!

    (No offence to those who liked the other sister, but they did make a pretty good joke about it last night on theDaily Show: "The role Juliette Lewis was born to play!")

    I heard that Snuggle the bear co-stars in this movie. True??? Cuz ya know, he's cute & cuddly, just like the movie.

    I have no plans to go however as I've already surpassed my FDA daily requirements of sugar and corn for the year.
