Unfortunately, I didn't think it was Best Picture category. Julianne's and Annette's performances were first-rate, but I thought Mark Ruffalo's character was somewhat contrived. And some of the attempts at humor hit below the belt; for instance Jules' interaction with the Latino gardener. And, of course, the male porn watching. Just too out there!! Also, the end of the movie was kind of a letdown. Overall, it was a lot like most families are, just trying to muddle through somehow with many moments that seem momentous in retrospect but when you're experiencing them, seem just tedious.
