The Statement (2003)
The cast saves an otherwise lackluster movie from being forgettable.

Julia Roberts tries very hard to exude maternal teacherly warmth. Too bad the movie is this hackneyed and lifeless.

Oh great, another movie telling women that fame and money are bad, so it’s better to just have a boyfriend instead.

How can be a movie about incestuous brothers be this dull? They should have just made a movie off a random boyband slash fic.

Teenage girls are such pain in the ass.

Sick and tired of your selfish, narcissist drama queen parent? You are such an ass, this movie will tell you. Those parents are the best!

I never knew a stupid woman almost started a drug war in Ireland!

Why do so many divorced woman dramas have to be this banal?

Another story of rich white people and their first world problems. Who cares about which of these bores is sleeping with whom?

Love, nudity, and heartbreak. What’s not to love, especially with all the pretty on display?
