That was an excellent one.

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

When did so-called romantic comedies become the means to endorse cheating and lying to those you care for the most? As I watched this movie, I could not believe that the jokes were about people in a family having sex with ther partners, about a couple about to disintegrate due to the lack of morals and character by one of the partners, about a man who went through life like an inmature child despite hurting others no matter how the film tried to portray him as a good guy. Although the movie supposedly had a happy ending, the message had been delivered by then and nothing would save the film from being a gross advertisement for some of the worst human traits

This is a terrible, terrible, TERRIBLE movie! I didn't believe it could be as bad as previous reviewers said it was, but I was wrong. They were right!I admire those who held out for 40 minutes and more. They deserve a medal! I hit eject at 9:32, after Christine Lahti (didn't she use to be good?) said, at her son's wedding, "Tell him his ear wax is making me nauseous." I mean, I'm from a dysfunctional family, but even we weren't ALL obnoxious morons like every single person in this horrible movie; and we weren't even rich!Has there ever been a stupider screenplay than this? A more clumsily wasted group of actors? More incompetent direction?This is by far the worst movie I have ever seen, and I've seen Plan 9 from Outer Space.

This was a pleasant surprise. "Petunia" revolves around an extended family. The children are grown up and relate to their parents as adults.These characters are narcissistic, they abuse drugs and alcohol, and mostly they are desperately searching for meaningful lives in our fast paced world.The drama is quite heavy at times, and always fascinating. It's broken up by some truly funny situations. The acting is good, as you should expect from a film like this. Charlie, the lead, is especially impressive as the meek but affable middle son who actually holds the family together.I suppose if I had one criticism, it's that the characters all seem independently wealthy. Apart from that, this is a pretty compelling portrait of modern life. I recommend it.If you liked this, then please check out my other reviews. I try to review the movies which not many people see.

OK. Good premise, good cast, good money. And then - a kind of slow, almost leisurely, but basically rather sad, car crash. Nobody cares about anybody. The parents are so self-obsessed I felt like putting a brick through the screen. It's a good attempt, well (enough) done, but there's really just no-one to like. At all. In the press (here in the UK) there have been a few pundits saying there will be fewer films but they'll cost more. This wasn't cheap, and has decent production values. It's the script, I suspect. If you're a BIG fan of a cast member, then go for it. Otherwise it's a stretch.4 out of 10. Not awful, just a damp squib.
