4.0 out of 5 stars The Perfect Family May 4, 2012
By Judith Agee
Format:Amazon Instant Video|Amazon Verified Purchase
Anne Renton's {her directorial debut}The Perfect Family is a solid and well made film. There are cliches and some obvious moments, but the performances of Kathleen Turner, Emily Deschanel and a very fine supporting cast rise above the cliches. Eileen Cleary, a devout catholic is nominated for an award, Catholic Woman of the Year. Her subsequent soul-searching, and efforts to make her not so perfect family perfect is the seam that holds this family drama together. I found it believable. Having grown up in the catholic church, none of it seemed over the top to me. Emily Deschanel does a fine turn as Shannon Cleary. She has several really well played scenes with Kathleen Turner. An excellent soundtrack to move the story works really well.
I thoroughly enjoyed it and plan to watch it again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great film!!! June 20, 2012
By Jah
Format:DVD
I saw this film at the Tribeca Film Festival last year with 2 friends and we all loved it. The writers did a fantastic job in coming up with a witty script with a plot that touches most people. Kathleen Turner did an incredible job as the central character in the dysfunctional Cleary family and her delivery was remarkable. Everyone should see this film, you will truly get a great laugh!!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best movie nobody's seen
This is a movie about what really counts. It's about transforming from acting Catholic, to actually being Christian. It embraces many stereotypes, and makes you look beyond them. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars All in the Family on Steroids
If you are a Christian, get ready to be portrayed as a bigoted, two-faced, poser because you believe that marriage is between a man and a woman and that adultery is wrong. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars a bit cliche now, 20 years ago would have been edgy..great cast
Today this storyline is cliché, though 20 years ago this would have been edgy material.

There is a very strong cast with great performances. Turner is brilliant. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Unbearable-couldn't stand more than 10 minutes
Perhaps this was intended to appeal to Catholics. Shame it didn't say that in the description on the TV. Read more
