The casting of this film was excellent, everyone very believable in their appointed parts. Lot of issues here but that "conflict is everywhere" was well-presented. Not the Smiths versus the Jones but everyone against everyone else, ultimately. Lots of real messages re: love, family, technology, gender presented. I kept expecting a twist, like a murder or an orgy but that didn't happen and the film ended somewhat unexpectedly. The men were criticized for their attachments to their tech toys but the women weren't criticized for their attachment to their purses. Quite realistically, the only adult violence presented was female against male and not the reverse. Worth watching for some non-politically correct truths and performances but the end comes out of nowhere. I have to applaud Jody Foster for playing such an irritating, unlikeable REAL character.
