The Squid and the Whale is witty and amusing
07/04/2006 - 11:49:00The Squid and the Whale
Director: Noah Baumbach
Cast: Laura Linney, Jeff Daniels, Owen Kline, Jesse Eisenberg
Cert: 16
Family rivalry between 'serious novelist' husband Daniels and suddenly successful writer wife Linney brings even more troubles to an already shaken marriage, especially the dysfunctional kids.
It's a comedy with a serious edge and it comes with some memorable moments.
The acting is often outstanding, but somehow the family in-fighting can't settle on fun or serious.
Star Rating: 3/5
