Petunia

Not good. Thora Birch's worst performance.
This movie had promise by looking at the trailer. But it didn't live up to it in any way. Thora Birch's character was rotten to the core, hard to watch, hard to believe, and the acting was awful. The actor who played the son Charlie was good. The mom was awesome. But they had no support from either storyline or other actors. Skip this movie, you'll never get those two hours back.

Plus, it streamed VERY slowly from Amazon. Every time I needed to stop or rewind, I waited for several minutes (like 5 to 10).
Very Good
A great indie that follows a modern family and their attempts to navigate the trials and tribulations associated with living within the modern condition. Even though this movie kept my attention throughout, I thought that there were some scenes in particular that absolutely blew my mind. You won't regret sitting down to watch this under-appreciated film.

In this movie, you get the standard typecasting of a messed up New York family and the people they meet. Each person is trying to find out who they are and what they want out of life. With a little re-coupling, each character gets a little closer to what they are looking for. The surprises really aren't that surprising but the movie was mildly amusing at times so if you have a few hours to kill, it wasn't all that bad.
