Raising six kids out in the woods, off the grid, and very far from the mainstream, has upside to it but also some complications and, surprisingly, not all extended family members approve.
Wow! Whoda thunk that?

Viggo Mortensen and Frank Langella star, plus a bunch of rug rats.

I thought it was thought provoking and sometimes very funny and sad but it was the worst ending to any movie I've seen in a long time.

I was hoping this was a dramatization of the Elton John story, at the peak of his glamour god stardom. How could it not be?

It's worth seeing, I'll give it that much. But they just wrote themselves into a dead end and just tacked on an episode of the Brady Bunch for the last 22 minutes and really threw it away. I was mad about it.

I'd say that's pretty accurate.
