A pleasant movie about a well off family whose wealth originated from a former great success in music business: a semi-retired artist, two beautiful (and clever) daughters, a nice son-in-law, a smart grandson, a good lawyer (agent and family friend) and a devoted sixth (or something) wife give life to a family picture in the Hamptons.
Unfortunately, despite the overall good quality (the cast, above all, is sensational) the film is not memorable. Characters strive to be sincere but do not sound realistic. Dialogue is reach but not meaningful. And the story is agreeable but not funny (or even remotely unpredictable ).
And the songs are not memorable either, with the notable exception of 'My Ludicrous Heart' (an old song, probably unknown to greater audience, from Christina Marrs) whose inspired lyrics sounded better sung from Amber Heard than in the original version of the Asylum Street Spankers.
