Lucy (Sorvino) and Jen (Blanchard) are
sisters. They haven’t seen each other for three years. Jen and her fiancé Bill
(Doyle) run a health food web shop. Lucy is a neurotic egocentric drama queen. Jen
is dismayed when Lucy invades her home out of the blue.
They have had a rough childhood with a
suicidal mother (Lupone). Jen has tried to detach herself from her background.
Lucy has become a selfish screw-up.
The film gives me angst. I would really
hate to have Lucy as a sister. I would also hate to have Jen’s future
mother-in-law (though we never see her).
There’s a twist or two and it turns into a tear fest. I’m not sure how to react.
