I don't know how much movies like this really lose. It cost $10 million and grossed $2.9 million dollars worldwide. I assume they made a lot from home video. Because there are a lot of movies like this that cost several million but might gross less than a million in theaters.
Margot (Nicole Kidman) and her thirteen-year-old, Claude (Zane Pais), travel to attend her sister, Pauline's (Jennifer Jason Leigh's), wedding. She's marrying Jack Black playing a failed musician turned failed painter.
Margot and Pauline haven't spoken in years. It looks like they're going to get along, but, you'll see.
Early on, they play an awkward, symbolic game of croquet. They're all just terrible at it.
Nichole Kidman had a stunt double. There was a nightmarish scene of her climbing a really tall tree.
There were critics who thought the characters were too unlikable. I didn't notice it. I thought the kid, Claude, was the main character since he was the focus of the opening sequence on the train. It was hard to tell, but he probably had more of a character arc than the others.
