Something quite marvellous: a realistic drama that looks and feels as inevitably true and moving as a good documentary

Love it!
I absolutly loved this film,however i can see why not everybody would like it becuase nothing much happens. It's about the life of three men, a father and his two sons. Who are dealing with their lives after the death of thier mother and wife. You watch the three men struggle in thier own ways in this film to keep living and find thier own way throw grief. Because not much is said through this film it's the acting that portrays these peoples feelings and in my opinion it is done in a honest way through watching thier everyday lives. The superb acting portrays this often tense feeling that signifys the feeling that the three men are holding in. Alison Janney from the west wing, is a new neighbour who is house sitting. Her character is kind and appears happy although you don't hear much about her back story, she makes a impact on the father who opens up to her.
My advice is to give this film a go, i found it a emotional film and one to watch chilled out of the sofa with some hot chocolate. -

Good acting, but lacking in story
A funny little film. The individual performances all good, but all put together it left me a bit dissatisfied. The story didn't really go anywhere, and various elements were introduced but not explored. I'm a fan of Anthony LaPaglia and rented it pretty much on the back of his name being on the cast list - a shame, it didn't live up to expectations.
