May walk like a comedy and quack like a comedy, but despite the absurd extremes to which it takes the squabbling-family formula, it inspires nary a chuckle. Read full review

What happens when you put a rabbi, a Buddhist monk, a high-strung capitalist, and a lesbian humanitarian together in the same room? Not comedy, it turns out. Read full review

A frantic, badly constructed, slightly offensive muddle that doesn't so much end as run out of things on a checklist. Read full review
