Entertaining story about a terminally ill man who wants to build the house and reconnect with his out of control son. Kevin Kline and Kristen Scott Thomas are great. Jena Malone is beautiful. Hayden Christensen just adequate. Why is it, Mary Streenburgen keeps getting roles as the older woman having an affair with a teenager? The story was tender but some of the gritty additions were unnecessary. Some pacing issues. Slow but good music. Still I liked it.

Superficial, borderline mawkish family drama rescued by fine performances all round, and excellent, sturdy work from Kline. It's a shame the screenplay consistently lets its performers down, by going for the dramatically obvious and simplistic at every turn; this becomes a serious problem in the final third when credibility and plausability are thrown out the window. Kline's mysterious ailment which is too severe for treatment, but otherwise keeps him in pretty fine fettle is also a problem.

A feel-gooey movie, deftly photographed (by Vilmos Zsigmond) but brutally, maulingly manipulative.

Hayden Christensen (who went on to destroy the Star Wars franchise with his D-movie acting skillz) opens the show here with some autoerotic asphyxiation . Then this cynical copycatting of American Beauty just gets worse and worse. If the title metaphor is accurate, then this "house" is a Burger King on stilts.

A total wish-fulfillment fantasy for older guys. Kevin Kline throws a temper tantrum at his job and we're supposed to cheer... and he wins back his babe-ular ex from a rich guy... and he magically reforms his terminally nihilistic son... etc., etc., etc. It's supposed to be "life affirming", but there's no shortage of urine jokes. If the cast wasn't so good (including proof that Hayden Christensen *can* act if you push him hard enough), this would be one of the worst movies of the 00's

This is a different kind of melodrama; there is a certain emotion it evokes that sets it apart from other similar movies. Kevin Kline is great as always and, even though he tends to overact, Hayden Christensen pulls together some nice scenes.
