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 Description: This funny and uplifting romantic comedy features outstanding performances from Juliette Lewis (ENOUGH), Diane Keaton (HANGING UP, THE FIRST WIVES CLUB), and Tom Skerritt (CONTACT) in a great star-packed cast! Even though Carla (Lewis) has grown into a very capable young woman, her nervous mother (Keaton) still has a major meltdown when Carla announces she's in love for the first time! So as Carla and her new boyfriend (Giovanni Ribisi, GONE IN 60 SECONDS, SAVING PRIVATE RYAN) set out to experience all of life's great adventures, they're also out to prove that Carla has earned her independence! The latest big-screen favorite from Garry Marshall, the acclaimed director of PRETTY WOMAN and RUNAWAY BRIDE -- you're sure to cheer this feel-good treat! Average Rating:
 Rating:  - AWESOMEWhen this movie first came out my kids were a bit younger, and they loved it! I looked all over and finally found it on Amazon. I would recommend if you are looking for a fun family movie! Juliette Lewis does a GREAT Performance Rating: - VERY WELL ACTED AND NOT OVERLY SENTIMENTAL! 3 1/2 STARS!This film could have been a disaster, but with a smart script, fine cast and some restraint, it turned out to be a very good film. Juliette Lewis and Giovanni Ribisi are exceptional in this quirky tale of love and determination. With Tom Skerritt never more likable and Diane Keaton never more annoying(on purpose)this story of a young retarded women's determination to be independent is sometimes funny, insightful and heartbreaking! More importantly than her independence is her need to get from under ... Read More Rating: - Great service and Perfect ProductOrdered the product using overnight delivery at the end of the day.
