This movie is hilarious in sincere, two things that most movies these days lack. Jadzia (Lena Olin, absolutely gorgeous as usual) is the mother of five children "Four of them boys" (as she constantly reminds everybody). They all live together, even though four of the five children are over twenty. While she has marital husbands with her spouse Bolak (Gabriel Byrne in one of his best performances besides "A Dangerous Woman") she must tend to the well-being of her wild and outrageous daughter, Hala. When Hala accidentally becomes pregnant the family must help and support her. What makes this movie so sweet is some of the scenes with Byrne, one in which he smokes cigarettes with his children, or spends good quality time with Hala. Claire Danes as Hala is pretty good. She's sweet and innocent, yet vivacious. Olin of course makes the movie. For once I'm glad to see that they added some sass to her character. Overall, I gave this movie a 10. I loved it. Rent it, maybe you will too.
