Laurel Canyon (2002)



When an uptight young man and his fiancee move into his libertine mother's house, the resulting clash of life attitudes shakes everyone up.

Basically OK and well-played character drama about the uninteresting problems of people you wouldn't want to meet.

Halliwell (no stars): "A generational clash a middle-aged leather-clad hippie and her conservative son degenerates into standard soap opera fare."

Maltin **1/2: "Superficial but diverting hijinks with an unattractive cast, and McDormand in a role unlike any she's done before. Follows the same pattern as Cholodenko's previous, more richly textured film, HIGH ART."
