Tamara Jenkins's (Slums of Beverly Hills) latest is about the misery of family. Specifically, the clashes, panic, and rampant self-absorption that occurs when parents need to be taken care of by their children. With sharp writing, predictably fine performances from Philip Seymour Hoffman and Laura Linney, and a standout turn from Philip Bosco as the père in need, the movie clicks on nearly every level—just don't see it with your folks.
