Family Weekend 2013

Wacky and fun, Family Weekend is an entertaining comedy with a bit of a dark edge. In a desperate attempt to save her family a 16-year-old high school girl kidnaps her parents in order to get them to realize how dysfunctional and out-of-touch they’ve become. Olesya Rulin gives an excellent performance and brings a lot charisma to the film, and Kristin Chenoweth and Matthew Modine also give strong supporting performances. And while it’s not a straight dark comedy, the humor has a quirky tone that works very well. Delivering some good laughs, Family Weekend is an enjoyable screwball comedy.
