“The story felt a little generic but the filmu0026#39;s makers put their stank into it and made it fresh. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFelt almost felt like a Woody Allen movie he did not make because of all the cheating going on in it. The typical story of a family going through hard times. This particular tale revolves around two sisters who discover dadu0026#39;s stepping out on mom, but one of the sister should not throw bricks at glass houses. Did a good job of putting us in the 90s. It seems like there was no real need for the movie to have taken place in the 90s unless the filmmakers were really sold on the name of the film. You see the landlines in the film but they donu0026#39;t really do anything for the story, but there were a few funny moments (really just two) about being a teen in the 90s and the technology available to us.   The characters are really good and the actors give great performances as them, which is what really makes the movie over anything else.   Liked it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003ehttp://cinemagardens.com”
