Summary: ... what can I say?!
Review: The film is awkward from the beginning to the end. I hope this bad experiment doesn't repeat itself in future films.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Indie!
Review: THis film was lively and kooky. This film does contain scenes of incent and role play but, the film defines these moments as family history. I enjoyed the film Parker was believable and pitiful as the love-sick sister.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Stunning
Review: I think the best word to describe me after watching this movie was 'stunned.' I liked it - in a strange way. The acting is phenomenal. The dialogue is superb. The story line is interesting, in a curious sort of way. Even Tori Spelling was good.

The movie is set at the home of a family in Washington D.C. Right away you can tell there is strangeness in the family and it is not too long before you realize, for some members it is more than strangeness!

Be sure to pay attention because there are a lot of great lines in this movie and the dialogue can move rather quickly. There are some hidden meanings and clues to some secrets that you will want to watch out for!

This movie is worth watching, especially if you like quirky dark comedies.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hysterically disturbing
Review: Parker Posey is a great actress. If you are amused by anything that disturbs others...this is the movie for you. This movie is compelling. With a cast of 5, they hold your attention with hysterical dialogue. Prepare to have to listen to all the lines. You won't want to miss one.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: DISTURBED
Review: Parker Posey has built a career on playing quirky and disturbed characters-even in such mainstream films as You've Got Mail and Scream 3. This picture is definitely one of the more disturbed roles. Adapted from a stage play about an incestuous relationship between a twin brother and sister and the circumstances leading up to the twin brother's death. Posey is her neurotic self as the mentally unstable Jackie O, whose unnatural love for her brother sends her over the edge of sanity. When her brother returns home to Washington, D.C. for Thanksgiving with his new fiancée (Tori Spelling) Jackie O sends their younger brother (Freddie Prinze, Jr.) to seduce her so she can have the twin brother all to herself. Although the film is interesting in its subject matter and boasts excellent performances, it is a bit stilted because it is very obviously a stage play.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: oh come on!
Review: Movies like this make indies look bad. If Parker Posey wasn't a pretty lady I would have never finished this film.Why would anyone want to see Tori Spelling and Freddie Pronze Jr. anyway? Despite some amusing dialogue and a few cool looking scenes, I regretted seeing this movie. It doesn't leave you with a worthwile feeling.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "Just one more time, for old times sake."
Review: Parker Posey displays yet another neurotic character, as we have come to terms with in some of her other movies. She, in this movie potrays a Jacklyn Onassis Kennedy wanna-be who "always gets her way" and strives to perfection. Her passion for perfection leads her to boil some tonic water to "carbonate it" and ends up giving herself third degree burns. Though this movie does indeed have a sick, incest filled plot line somehow, I manage to like it.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: This movie is terrible! Posey shines, but spare me Tori!!
Review: I rented this film a while back, and while I loved Posey in "Party Girl" and she is arguably good in this film, the plot is thin and the actors wade through a torrid, acid-tinged nightmare centering around a fantasy about the day of John Kennedy's assassination. Posey's brother brings home his fiance, played by Tori Spelling, to meet his mother and twin sister, played by Posey. He has not been home for years, and his mother nurtures the unnatural, sexual relationship between brother and sister. Posey instantly dislikes Tori so much that she goes out of her way to berate, insult, and undermine her at every turn without her brother interceding and all against the background of a dark, stormy night (a cliched movie theme). Worse comes to worse and the movie descends down hill. Don't waste your money. Save it for "Party Girl" or the independent drama, "Clockwatchers," if you are a Parker Posey fan. This film attempts at an interesting ideal, but falls pitifully short.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Is that hydrochloric acid I taste?
Review: When moments of sanity break through in this film, one doesn't know whether to laugh or cry. Quickly insanity returns, and it makes the viewer comfortable again. Strangely brilliant.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A sick portral on the the Kennedys
Review: I caught this movie on Tv. It is definatly a great black comedy. Parker Posey was the greastest as Jackie-O. She was terrific as she played the sick twisted crazed sister. The whole thought of the incest was sick. Freddie princejr. did a great part in acting like the stupid little brother. and do not forget Tori Speling. I watched her for years in 90210 and this movie truly shows her acting ability
