BallWubba Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

bettycjung 3/23/18. Yay! Finally, a dysfunctional family you can love! I was truly surprised that I enjoyed this movie so much! Pine is Sam, and he is one messed up dude who has a girlfriend (Wilde) who has almost given up on him for being selfish and self-serving. He learns, after his father died, that he actually has a half sister, who has a son. He reaches out, but in a very roundabout way, to learn more about Frankie (Banks). Eventually they must come to terms that they are family. Definitely catch this. Pine shows his acting chops in this one, and Banks is wonderful as well as the rest of the supporting cast.

Moonstrike9 The director made the hugest mistake adding incestuous tension into this movie. It made the whole thing unenjoyable and unrelatable. Since this movie was based on the director's real life experience with his sister, it only makes me wonder. Yuck.

callanvass (Credit IMDb) While settling his recently deceased father's estate, a salesman discovers he has a sister whom he never knew about, leading both siblings to re-examine their perceptions about family and life choices. This was one of the most underrated films of 2012. It's a genuinely heartwarming story about redemption and finding yourself. I'm somewhat estranged from a lot of my family, aside from my Dad. I may not have had no contact with my sister like Sam (Chris Pine) does in this movie, but I was easily able to feel sympathy for him. Chris Pine did a really nice job of transforming his character throughout the movie. He plays an arrogant human being for a while, who pushes everyone away, including his love interest (Olivia Wilde) I really enjoyed his changes that he made in the movie. His chemistry with Elizabeth Banks was fantastic. Speaking of Elizabeth Banks, she is just as pivotal as Pine was to making this film as enjoyable as it was. I feel she is one of the most underrated talents in Hollywood. She was natural as a former alcoholic. Olivia Wilde felt a little cold at times, but she did well. If the ending doesn't make you smile, I really question your sanity. 7.8/10

Armand its basic virtue is honesty. as root of acting. like measure of scriptwriter courage to propose an ordinary story, touching and profound for the science to seems be a confession without any make-up. source is a real fact but not this element is relevant in this case but the art to transmit the message in a clear manner. a film about fight against past traces, family, choices and happiness essence. a reflection - film, a question - movie. and something else - occasion for few actors to do a splendid work. not a surprise but the story has many pitfalls and the sense of right way is admirable for build each character. a honest film - that is the word. and a special feeling after its end. like a form of wake-up.
