2 stars for Goodwin and Foster
Essentially this dysfunctional film implodes on itself in numerous ways, so much so that any description of the plot or otherwise would just be boring. The only two reasons to see this would be to watch the range that Ben Foster and Ginnifer Goodwin have. I liked Foster in 3:10 to Yuma and I think this role helped show his variety, as with Goodwin.
This is not a film to grab if you think Hillary Swank, Perry or Graham do anything special. Swank has 5 scenes, Perry spends half the film on a toilet (toilet humor does not work for me anymore) and Graham just seemed to miss it. Watching Perry scoop dog crap up well over ten times didn't work for me either. I like the films from First Look, but this one doesn't meet the grade of competency, except for Foster building a solid foundation - and when I think about it he actually had more screen time than anyone, so maybe they should change the cover art to him.
overbearing and not the best dysfunctional family drama
Spanning 1 hour at 20 minutes this movie feels much longer and not necessarily in a pleasant way. Although some of the subjects and explorations this movie takes are genuine and interesting, there's too much of the oddity in here to be truly appreciated. This is not the best dysfunctional family drama out there and, by the end of the film, nor do we really care about whether it is.
About 1000 times better than the dvd case
I've seen this film a few times in the last week. Writer/Director Craig Lucas knows his stuff. The direction of this film is spot on. Craig Lucas also knows his Americans, as do Matthew Perry, Ben Foster(Six Feet Under) and Ginnifer Goodwin(Big Love). The whole cast does a fantastic job.
See this movie.

Birds of America Description
Morrie (Matthew Perry, Friends) is the keeper of all things family related, including his siblings. In this comedic foray into sibling relationships, Morrie's little brother Jay (Ben Foster, 3:10 to Yuma, X-Men: The Last Stand) is beyond peculiar, homeless and humorously, but clinically, depressed. His beautiful sister Ida (Ginnifer Goodwin, Big Love) is a promiscuous insomniac and sometime photographer that is starved for attention. Morrie's wife Betty (Lauren Graham, Gilmore Girls) has waited patiently for seven years for their hard work to pay off so they can start a family. Morrie's life is unraveling. As his family's antics infuriate his boss and neighbor, his dreams of success are quickly destroyed. Morrie gets a wake-up call and he comes to realize that the people who really care for him will stand by his side no matter what.
Hope you guys had a great weekend
