Has to be one of the worse movies ever made. Just like watching paint dry. The scenes were usually out of focus and the camera shots were just awful. The movie is about nothing.

i loved this movie....it really dives into the complexities of human nature. rich characters who are changed and disturbed, at the same time.

First things first, there have been so many movies about suburban angst set on Long island that this movie is old hat even before it starts rolling. Note to the producer, there is plenty of angst ev... erywhere. The staging of this train wreck also leaves much to be desired. At one point Edie Falco\'s character is driving her manic depressive actress neighbor to the Port Jeff ferry and there are are one minute driving through Port Jeff village, and then the next minute there having a melt down drama along the Long Beach causeway in Sag Harbor (near the Shelter island South Ferry). The zombie like business man is at one point asking for the location of a breakfast spot, and then it\'s the middle of the afternoon. The use of a run a way away dog (that thankfully is not hit by a car) adds nothing but un-needed anxiety (the human cast has this area covered). If your looking for some GOOD movies built around this theme try The Trees Lounge, Life and Death on Long island, L.I.E., or Two Family House (set in Staten island). Full Review
