Laugh-laced dark drama of family angst overcomes the hurdle of its wedding-weekend setting.
Plot Summary: A wedding at her parents' Annapolis estate hurls high-strung Lynn into the fire of primal, Byzantine family dynamics. It's the wedding of Lynn's son, whom she was deprived of raising because of her acrimonious divorce, and a feud still rages between Lynn and her ex-husband's hot-tempered wife. Meanwhile, the three children Lynn did raise display a panoply of disturbing behaviors like cutting and drug addiction, which Lynn's mother and sisters alternately ridicule and blame her for. As Lynn attempts catharsis, her mother sweeps issues under the rug, but painful truths bubble and spurt. Clan members deploy ricocheting arrows to protect themselves-and wound others-as the fine lines between victims and perpetrators blur.
ANOTHER HAPPY DAY, it probably sounds like a pretty heavy film, but it’s not a humorless one. In fact, but the first 70% of the film, I thought I was watching a black comedy, as it delves into some razor sharp family satire at times. In the end, I’d say it weighs too heavily in the drama category to be called a comedy, but it certainly has its moments. It’s an incisive, revealing look at the sometimes tragic dynamic of a modern family. See it!
