Boring, long, and too preachy.

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Well that's 1 hour and 25 minutes of my life I won't get back! This story has been told much better before, and not just the once in varying formats. I struggled to sit though this as the performances were weak, stunted with no depth to them. I can honestly say I have cared more for a prawn salad than I did any of the characters and I don't like prawns! The only likable character was the daughter and even her acting seemed in places forced and frankly wooden. This wreaked of low budget and really didn't need to as the script in places was OK, not moving or Oscar worthy but alright for a rom com or was this supposed to be a 'dramady' it couldn't make up it's mind for the most part. To be honest I didn't laugh once so perhaps this was just supposed to be a drama but then I didn't find it moving or engrossing either. I think they were telling the age old story of boyfriend shags girlfriend's mum and relying on the 'god I never saw that coming' shocker (even though it was coming at you like a train from the outset) to carry this entire flop of a film. In my opinion and it is only my opinion, don't tell a good story half heartedly after all you wouldn't make war and peace using punch and judy. If you want to watch this story being told properly watch The Graduate and see real acting and film making or go 80's for a different slant and watch Class but spare yourself this two bit punch and judy show its a rotten tomato from me I'm afraid. Ps I am not denying the male lead Jonathan Sadowski is handsome but those eyebrows - wow they were very distracting, I kept thinking of Danny La Rue all the time!

It's quite rare for me not to finish a movie. I've seen uncountable movies and perhaps walked out on two or three. Call me a prude but at the base of this entire story was a cheap sex coupling. I can deal with that subject, but it always bothers me that sex is so casual these days.In many movies a couple meets and then they have sex very quickly after meeting. But the story continues and they enjoy each other's company and fall in love, perhaps to get married. This story had no such promise of love. It was simply sex that brought the mother and lead character together.I felt really uncomfortable for the characters. I had no interest in seeing this through to the end. No outcome would be acceptable to me.Yea I guess I'll call myself a prude. I'm looking for another romantic comedy to watch tonight.

All Relative is a 2014 film currently available on NetFlix Instant Download Streaming. It is a comedy drama directed by J.C. Khoury and written by J.C. Khoury. It features Connie Nielsen, Jonathan Sadowski, Sara Paxton, Al Thompson, David Aaron Baker, Liz Fye, Audrey Jessup, Sarah Steele, Erin Wilhelmi and Rob Yang. The story is about a young man in architecture school who falls in love with a young student. However, the plot thickens when he meets up with a beautiful blond woman who just happens to be the mother of his girlfriend unbeknownst to him. This plat comes close to that of the classic film by Mike Nichols, "The Graduate" which received a superlative rating of 10. I was only able to give this film a 6. Dale Haufrect

This movie is visually stimulating. It is visually stimulating because the actors starring in it are very attractive. Especially the females, one of whom is the very pretty Sarah Paxton who is lovely to look at and also Connie Nielsen who is gorgeous.Unfortunately it fails to be stimulating in any other way. The story is formulaic and uninspired. After watching it, I felt like I'd seen this sort of movie a million times before, but often better written. For a romantic comedy it's far more awkward than romantic and I did not get to laugh once, which is saying a lot as I'd had a few glasses of wine before my viewing and I'm a pretty jovial young lady as is. You are constantly reminded that the characters are not real but instead actors playing a part. The lines and acting in this film feel scripted and inorganic. It seems like a made for TV sort of movie. Perhaps that is what it is and if so it is adequate but it's definitely a one time watch only kind of film.
