Only the fake-slut daughter comes off as somewhat sympathetic, but the film refuses to focus on her character, and she remains somewhat of a stick-figure (figuratively and literally). The problem here is that we can't: the mother's a bitch, the father's an impotent robot, the son's a gun-obsessed Jesus freak (the gun obsession serving only to telegraph the ending), and the awful mother-in-law doesn't actually appear until the very end of the film. This is partly the fault of being based on the "dysfunctional family" trope, which works best when we still manage to care/sympathize/identify with at least one of the family members. It just doesn't know where it wants to go, which story/character it really wants to follow.
#MAC FAMILY TREE TORRENT MOVIE#
While pleasant enough, this movie comes off as slap-dash and unfocused. She's in the film for all of three minutes (long enough for the camera to linger longingly on her chest, of course) and otherwise doesn't have much to do with the plot. Reviewed by Mickey Z 4 / 10 Slapdash and unfocused but pleasant nonethelessįirst off, Christina Hendricks fans: don't waste your time. Her newlywed sweetness infuses the family as Jack sorts through issues at work, Eric discovers flaws in his Christian posse, and Kelly makes friends with a lesbian classmate. While a dead peeping Tom hangs undiscovered in a tree outside their bedroom window, Bunnie sustains a head injury and wakes up unable to remember anything after the first days of their marriage. Bunnie's rich mom tries to control things. Daughter Kelly is foul-mouthed their son Eric is a militant Christian and an excellent shot. Jack and Bunnie barely speak, he fantasizes about women at work, she's having an affair with a neighbor and possibly others.
