Rating: Summary: House of Whatever Review: I liked the premise, big house in the suburbs, dark rainy night, eccentric rich family gets 2 mysterious visitors, yada yada. The 2 visitors end up being Tori and some other guy. They are there to celebrate their engagement or something.The movie then evolves into a discovery of dark family secrets and incestuous affairs! How scandalous! Parker Posey is fabulous as usual (check her out in clockwatchers)! I also really enjoyed the performance played by the mother "there are couissants filled with something in the kitchen" and "how could u bring a non-jackie into this house" and "that soup you're supposed to make when your sick" are some memorable quotes that made me chuckle. She played a superb rich spinster type with flair! And i loved the house it was filmed in! I want that house. What i didn't appreciate about this film is that it satirized the Kennedy assagination. I don't want to hear anything about "in the name of art" or how it actually was making a statement in favour of the Kennedy thing. An unspeakable tragedy deserves a more dignafied approach, not made a mokery of in some art house film! I did not appreciate the reenactment of the assassination, or Parker Posey's outfit and the whole macaroni thing. How tacky and heartless! Other than that, it was a marginal effort with some decent performances by Parker and the mother. And Tori...........yeah i guess she did alright too!
Rating: Summary: "Stop giving me the third degree!" Review: A great quirky film looking at the madness and messed up relationship of one DC area family. I love that it was filmed like a play--fast quips, the way they spoke. Parker Posey was great...even Tori Spelling (gulp) was not too bad. The incest references may throw some folks for a loop but its a movie! And it is one great comedy--with some of the best one liners out there. This is Parker Posey at her finest.
Rating: Summary: We LOVE this movie! Review: My friends and I absolutely LOVE this movie! We found it totally hillarious. We are always quoting lines from the movie, we love it so much! We recommend it to anyone who has a love of quirky comedies and, of course, Parker Posey!
Rating: Summary: FUNNY Review: House of Yes is freaking hilarious. The kitchen knives, 37 seconds... How can you not laugh. I went out and had the movie special ordered. I would encourage everyone to watch it at least once. You won't be sorry.
Rating: Summary: So great, even Tori Spelling can't screw up the film! Review: ANYONE who enjoys Parker Posey films will swoon for this one. She reaches her pinnacle of idiosyncrasy here, and no price tag can be put on that. Irony abounds (the family invalid happens to be able to outwit all other characters). Parker talking down to Tori is hysterical, and one can't help but imagine how easily that could happen between the two real-life actresses.
Rating: Summary: Beware: Parker Posey is not the girl next door! Review: Dark and extremely clever- this is Parker's greatest film to date. A brilliant script followed by superb deliverance, this movie can not be type-cast. Tory Spelling's embarrassing acting only adds to viewing pleasure.
Rating: Summary: My review is short and sweet. Review: It stars Parker Posey. Automatically I give it 6 stars out of five. (The dialogue and supporting performances are brilliant too - by the way, even if the subject matter gets pretty non-family channel at times...)
Rating: Summary: That was wise! Review: Excellent movie. My favorite ever. I love dialogue movies (i.e. Steel Magnolias and Say Anything). Parker Posey was simply amazing. Freddie Prinze, Jr. was outstanding. I have made all of my friends watch this movie and they all agree it is a movie that is not easily forgotten.
Rating: Summary: The Best "Small Movie" Ever Made Review: The film doesn't have much to do with JFK, Jackie Onassis, etc. It's about what it means to grow up in a dysfunctional family. Anyone whose childhood was weird will love it. Those from "Father Knows Best" households won't get it. If you hate it I suspect you're in denial. A gem, very funny, flawless acting (or, in Miss Spelling's case, nonacting), even the parts which don't work perfectly strangely add to the message of the film (moving on sometimes requires giving up people you love).
Rating: Summary: Stop giving me the third degree! This is a great movie!! Review: I wasn't a Posey fan until I stumbled upon The House of Yes, which I have to admit, is the funniest, most shocking comedy I have ever seen. All of the actors are excellent and so fitting. The dialogue is laughing-so-hard-you-fall-off-your-chair funny. I recommend this to anyone who is not afraid to admit they don't mind the incest scenes...
