(Plot) A widowed professor falls in love (Sarah Jessica Parker) but his daughter (Ellen Paige) is very disobedient and beats to her own drum. He also has to deal with an unwarranted visit from his annoying brother (Thomas Haden Church)
I don't remember much about this movie, but I do remember that it was a decent film, and refreshingly unorthodox. It has a quirky style to it, and I got into it for the most part. It also helps that it has an A + cast. Ellen Paige is one of my favorite up and coming actresses and her snarky performance delighted me. I dug her obsession with fancy words. It also had a great contrast in personality with Paige & Jessica Parker. Parker is a rather subdued personality compared to her, and the way they clashed gave me some chuckles. Dennis Quaid is a tad unsympathetic, but fantastic nonetheless. You'll like him, because you won't be able to help it. Haden Church is a hoot in his role
Final Thoughts: I kinda liked it. Its quirky style may not appeal to others, but those tired of the same Hollywood drivel will find stuff to like about it. Worth a watch
6/10
