Adrift 2009

Adrift (2009)A family goes on vacation to a beachfront house in Brazil, there are three children, 2 girls and a boy.  The parents are in crisis over their marriage, there is a lot of fighting, everything becomes magnified when it filters down to the children.  There is something off about this movie from the beginning, it's in Portuguese with English subtitles but as a viewer, you never connect to the people or events in this film.  It feels like there is plastic wrap between you and the characters, you can't warm up to them and it too superficial.  2 1/2* (Just so-so)
102 min, Drama, Vincent Cassel (Black Swan), Camilla Belle, Laura Neiva.
 
Note:  Blockbuster 3*, imdb 6.8 out of 10, 64% critic 43% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
