Smart People


Smart People (2008)
Seen on DVD 8th Oct 2008

Brilliant Brilliant Movie

STORY: 5.5/7
Lawrence (Dennis Quaid) is lonely and alienated since the death of his wife. His daughter (Ellen Page) is self involved and over-achieveing. His brother is self involved and, well, self involved. Things start to change around home when Lawrence finds himself without a licence, and romantically involved with his doctor (Sarah Jessica Parker.)

ACTING: 5.5/7
Everyone in this movie is actually quite amazing to watch. I'm not a big Dennis Quaid fan generally, but he was very impressive here. Ellen Page was totally great as always.

(i'm behind on these reviews so i'm gonna keep 'em short)


OVERALL: 5.5/7
