THE SAVAGES (3.5 STARS)

This film is about Jon and Wendy Savage trying to deal with their father who is suffering from dementia. They are also trying to deal with the millions of other problems they've seemingly self imposed.

I like this kind of movie. Sort of New York intellectuals who are on hundreds of different medication to deal with a neglectful childhood. It's got a neat little sense of humor to it. Both Philip Seymour Hoffman and Laura Linney are really great. Nothing really happens, so don't expect it too. It's just a character study. And quite entertaining.

I'm sure you've seen this trailer a million times, as have i.
