Teen half-sibs of lesbo couple find their jizz-donor father, hijinx ensue.

I enjoyed it. It's a lot heavier than the commercial campaign made it out to be, but I thought it was well acted and interesting.

Yeah, I thought it was pretty well acted and a skillful use of the postmodern family.

what's it rated?

It's rated L for LESBIANS of course. Ratings? Do people pay attention to those?

My favorite part was when Pete smashed Tommie Smothers' guitar.

In all fairness, lesbians aside, the R rating was proper for this film.

I liked it. Well-acted all around. The title, however, bugged me. The song doesn't show up, it was already the title of another movie (in which the song didn't show up either) and without the song as an anchor the title doesn't really fit.

They remade this? Who played Keith Moon?

finally caught up with this on dvd. my wife and i both hated it. Like SQUID AND THE WHALE (and i didn't), it's a wallow in "dysfunctional family" melodrama, light on plot and heavy on unlikeable characters making bad decisions. sure, the acting is good... with this cast, it would be hard for it not to be. but to what purpose? for another "we always hurt the one we love" slice of bullshit? whatever, dudes.

I'm not quite as negative here as Vic, although am at least in the same zip code with his 'what's the point?' angle. The fact that it's an unusual family getting past a crisis (or maybe not) doesn't make it a better flick IMO - particularly when the crisis barely made sense in the first place. Good performances only take it so far.
