The Anniversary Party

This is a movie I started watching a while back with Liz but never finished. It's pretty good. It has a couple very real fight scenes between several sets of characters that are a bit different than your average screaming scene. The only thing I can compare it to is when Ben Affleck and Joey Lauren Adams have their big fight in Chasing Amy. This was written and directed by Alan Cumming and Jennifer Jason Leigh, who happen to also be the main actors in the film. Rounding out the cast are John Benjamin Hickey, Parker Posey, Phoebe Cates, Kevin Kline, Owen Kline, Greta Kline, Denis O'Hare, Mina Badie, Jane Adams and John C. Reilly. That's not everybody, but I think that pretty much covers most of the more recognizable people. You might have noticed a few Klines up there. That's because it's Kevin Kline, his wife, and two kids. You might recognize Owen Kline from The Squid and the Whale. Definitely a talented upcoming actor who takes after his parents. I'll just come right out and say it - there's a bit of nudity in here. So if that bothers you, I'd stay away from this one. If you're a big fan of Cumming, Kline or Reilly - I'd say you should really see this one. For the average movie watcher this could be a bit boring and slow to watch. I gave this one a 4 out of 5.
