The Adults

Slow, boring, odd and neither funny nor dramatic. Abandoned it after 20 minutes.

The Adults is a wry and compassionate film about sibling bonds and past memories. Nothing much happens and it does wander a bit but I found it interesting and involving. The film is about a brother and his two sisters. Their shared history is conflicted and at times painful. Eric takes a short trip back home and connects with Rachel and Maggie. His relationship with Maggie is OK but it is definitely strained with Rachel. The film gently takes us through the shared relationship. It's sometimes painful and ruminative, sometimes happy and hopeful. Eric also gets distracted whilst he is there by a poker game, with which he gets very obsessed. This a gentle and observant film about the bonds between siblings. Michael Cera, Hannah Gross and Sophia Lillis are all very good in the lead roles. A small film but an interesting one nonetheless.

Boring and slow... the arguments using little voices are terrible to watch. Not worth the time.

Honestly, I started watching this movie on a plane and regret I wasted 30 minutes trying to get into it. So slow, so boring, such sad lives (but not even sad enough to cry over) I can't imagine it redeemed itself later. I rarely give up on a movie I've spent that much time watching.

This could have been a decent movie. Michael Cera mailed this one in. Couldn't even bother to learn the lines of songs. Tsk tsk

Good-hearted; maybe a but quirky.

This movie didn’t know what it wanted to be and therefore ended up being nothing. You can add all the sentimental music you want but you actually need a script and plot. Other than a couple of sweet moments at the very end, this movie was pretty useless.

"It was okay. The performances were decent. I feel like I've seen this story many times. I think it would have faired much better in the year 2000."

The best thing about the movie by far was a minor hit by Men at Work.

Aimless but not in great way
