Product Description
OTHER SISTER, THE
Amazon.com
Filming a love story centered on two mentally challenged people is a touching idea, one that's been attempted in films such as Benny and Joon and even, to a certain extent, As Good As It Gets. The Other Sister is another addition to the genre, a well- acted comedy-drama centering on the romance of Carla (Juliette Lewis) and Daniel (Giovani Ribisi) and throwing in some general family angst as a secondary story line. The acting is tremendous--Lewis and Ribisi both give convincing performances without condescending to their characters. Diane Keaton plays yet another charming scatterbrain, this time as Elizabeth Tate, the uptight, rich mother who wants a picture-perfect life. But good acting isn't enough here. These fine actors drown in a sea of mediocre writing, and we're left with a film with no real conflict or tension. Will Carla and Daniel make it work? Well, of course. Will mother Elizabeth loosen up about her "gay workaholic" daughter and let Carla live her own life? Do you really need to ask? There are a few cringe-worthy moments that have a sense of truthfulness, such as when Daniel stands up at Carla's sister's wedding to announce his feelings. But otherwise, these characters live in a pampered, fairy-tale world where the worst thing that happens to them is that the meanies at school put chewing gum in Daniel's bike helmet. Ultimately, this is a sweet, albeit occasionally saccharine, tale that will move those who are looking for cheerful fare. --Jenny Brown

 I LOVE this movie August 17, 2010
Tracena
Oh my goodness, what an awesome movie. I was at wrk one night and this girl was talking about this movie. It sound interesting. Thank God for iPhones, before she could finish her conversation, I said- I just bought it, it's on the way to my home. I must say it got there quick. It is good all the way thru. My only problm is.... I have not seen the ending yet. About the last 20mins cause I don't want the movie to end. I am so silly, but that's how good it is. Buy it, you'll be glad u did.

This was a beautiful movie from beginning to end. The acting was perfection. It was happy, sad, and wonderful! I was completely involved with the story so much so that I could not stop crying at the beautiful ending.

Denise Malone (PINELAND, TX, US)
Very good movie to watch with the Family excluding elementary ones. My teenage children watched it with me. Theres no nudity scenes but it has a little sexualy explicit "talk" about the first time,not necessarly the language.

I am quite pleased with the purchase. I was unable to find the movie anywhere except when I went to Amazon.com. It is one of my all time favorites.
