    Don't waste your time

    It didn't do it for me, very poor. Don't waste your time.

    Disappointing!

    I was really looking forward to seeing this film as I liked the title and the synopsis appealed to me but it was a sorely disappointing viewing experience. The film felt messy and unstructured and I did not find any of the characters compelling in any way. This is no 'story', There is no compelling protagonist or antagonist. I struggled to make myself watch the whole thing, constantly hoping the film would get more interesting but it never did. It felt like I was watching a random series of uninteresting characters having pointless, random conversations in different rooms in this big mansion. I really wanted to like this film but it was very boring and did not move me in anyway and I did not care about any of the characters. I really regretted renting this film!

    Unwatchable

    I tried to watch this for more than ten minutes, and despite forwarding to the next chapters, I'm sorry to say it didn't get any better. I would seriously give this movie a 0 rating.

    Rated - 4 stars [Highly rated reviewer]

    Great!

    I just watched this and couldn't believe the other reviewers never liked it. It's just about relationships but it's all based in one house with everyone there in honour of the families father who has just passed away. The actors do really convincing jobs and the script is great. The more into the film it goes and you get to know the characters more, the better it becomes and I felt wholly satisfied at the end. Great soundtrack by Belle and Sebastien too.

    loved it

    excellent film. darklly funny, witty and touching too. really enjoyed this take on the spoilt brats of a hollywood mogul when he dies. Christopher Jaymes wrote, produced and directed it and well done to him.

    One word

    Horrendous.

    I anticipated this film would be really witty and interesting, sadly it was a great disappointment.

    The actors are so unbelievably wooden and the film moves along at a snails pace.

    I couldn't bear to sit through it, and I wouldn't reccommend for anybody else to try to put themselves through it either!!

    Quite spectacular crap

    A lesson in self-indulgent s***t. Painful on every level. Well done.
