Good movie. Chris Pine stars as a self absorbed jerk who learns after his father’s death that he has a half-sister, Elizabeth Banks, as well as a nephew. (Wow, this sounds almost like Rainman, doesn’t it?). Michelle Pfeiffer co-stars as Pine’s mother and Olivia Wilde plays Pine’s way-too-tolerant girlfriend. I didn’t go see this film right away because I thought it would be one of those slow moving, emotional type films, but it is much better than that – and there are no sob scenes. Definitely add this one to your Netflix list.
