Movie #698 ........................."People Like Us"

Movie #698 "People Like Us" is a very different kind of movie. I can honestly say I never saw a movie on this subject --- very odd storyline, where the two major good looking actors play brother and sister, with their mother Michelle Pfeiffer, no less. So needless to say there are no love scenes here, per say, but a lot of areas are covered --- infidelity, what being a dad is all about, what really makes up a family, how we are defined at an early age as to whom we end up becoming......and more. I esp. like the last scene and it was well worth the journey to the end of the film. Out of all of the films I am writing critiques for tonight, this one has been lingering a lot longer than the others. It's worth a look. I gave it 3.8 stars out of 5 People Like Us2012PG-13 115 minutes When Sam flies home for his estranged father's funeral, the reading of the will reveals a sister he never knew he had -- and an order that Sam must bring his alcoholic sibling and her young son their inheritance.
