When his precocious niece comes toThis is yet another movie where the trailer looks like a saucy comedy, but the reality is a dreary coming out story. Paul Bettany plays the uncle who’s been living with his boyfriend in 70s New York. When his precocious niece comes to college, she discovers the situation. Then trauma rises back home and they return to South Carolina. While the performances of this excellent cast are worthwhile, it’s surprising that writer/director Alan Ball is behind this. The tragedy of being gay and dealing with a family rejection might have an impact 40 years ago, but this film now feels wretchedly outdated. To top it off, nothing about the script is remotely original, making it feel more like a bad Hallmark film with a good cast. Expand

Alan Ball: "I take you to places of the soul that are worth visiting". How much egocentric presumption. An on the road remake of "American Beauty" over 20 years later.
