This move was about two self-centered self-indulgent family members who could care less about whether they are making the rest of their family miserable. Sure the family may not be the Brady Bunch but whose is? And some movies manage to be humorous about that but not this one. Claudia and her brother were just mean spirited, not funny. Can't believe Jodie Foster was involved in this. The performances and production are good. I haven't watched it since reading that Downey was on drugs but I didn't notice at the time. Essentially I think this movie missed the mark of holiday movies that poke fun at dysfunctional families with the idea that we all have them but love them. I couldn't stand the two main characters. I felt sorry for the sister.
