Movie:
I think this flick tried too hard to be the new American Beauty.  Kate Winslet did a great job but her main counterpart, Patrick Wilson, is just not convincing. Maybe this shortcoming is attributed to the fact that we are supposed to believe that his character is actually cheating on Jennifer Connelly.  Regardless, while the side story involving Jackie Earle Haley's character is indeed disturbing in itself the whole picture of this dysfunctional underlying world within idealistic suburbia does not quite come together.  However, the film succeeds in portraying that you can have "the house" in "the neighborhood", be married, and have a kid but that does not guarantee happiness nor does it necessarily make you safe.
