Quickie Review: A man must come to grips with a life-altering reality: The inevitable death of his comatose wife. As he wrestles with the decision to allow the doctors to remove his wife from life support, a secret adulterous affair surfaces. All the while, he faces pressure from most of his relatives who want him to sell the family's vast Land Trust of which he is the sole trustee. Above all of these, he tries to be a better father to his two daughters.
I was the only one in auditorium 10 for this particular show at 10:15 p.m. on Wednesday, February 22nd, 2012, at the UA Emery Bay Stadium 10 in Emeryville, CA.
I liked this Comedy/Drama Movie which was, for the most part, realistically portrayed. And I do recommend it as a "Go See" movie.
I liked the scene when he was alone in the hospital room with his wife. I liked the scene with the grandfather and the granddaughter's stupid guy friend. And I also liked the end of the scene when he went to visit the realtor.
Here are the things that I didn't like about this movie: I don't know whether or not this movie is based on actual events. But it seems to me that their ancestor was the only one who married a native while the rest of the descendants married into white families--the ancestor had an ulterior motive, perhaps. The daughters were too foul-mouthed and too disrespectful toward their father. Of course, I say this from the point-of-view of someone who was born in a country where such behaviors were simply not tolerated nor expected of children. But, who knows, maybe times/things have changed now in the westernized old country through the influence of Hollywood Movies. The older daughter's guy friend was too stupid to be believable, like he was just added-on for comic relief. Did all of the relatives chip-in to pay the Property Tax in Perpetuity? Did any of them look at the possibility of selling Easements on the Land Trust? And the ashes looked more like cat litter, the cheap non-clumping kind!
