People Like Us 2012


People Like Us (2012)     This film was inspired by true events.  Sam is a salesman in his 20’s, his father recently passed away and it’s up to Sam to settle the estate.  Surprisingly, he finds out he has a sister 30 years old that he’s never known about?  Sam has been estranged from his family but this is still quite a shock.  Both Sam and his sister re-evaluate their lives and what they thought about their family.
     This movie seems off from the start.  Sam doesn’t tell his sister Frankie that he is her brother.  You want to hit him because she is going to get romantic ideas about him and then have them dashed.  Two and two really does add up to four?  You begin to not care about any of this and just want it to resolve in some manner so it will be done.  3* (This movie is OK)  

113 min, Drama directed by Alex Kurtzman with Chris Pine, Elizabeth Banks, Michael Hall D’Addario, Michelle Pfeiffer, Olivia Wilde, Mark Duplass, Sara Mornell, Philip Baker Hall.

Note:  Blockbuster 3*, imdb 7.1 out of 10, 57% critic 66% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
