Inventing The Abbotts
In this classic coming-of-age tale, forbidden love and impossible dreams intertwine when the handsome, working class Holt brothers are drawn to the beautiful and wealthy Abbott sisters. With an all-star cast including Liv Tyler (Armageddon), Joaquin Phoenix (Gladiator) and Billy Crudup (Almost Famous), Inventing The Abbotts is a "fiercely told story" (Time Magazine) of hidden desires and romantic possibilities.

I was apprehensive about renting this movie because it didn't have such a great review on Amazon. What a reminder to me to go by my own instincts rather than what other people say, although I agree entirely with what the posters here have said.
Based on the book by Sue Miller, author of The Good Mother, this moving and intricate tale about the way in which two families lives are intertwined over generations is fascinating. The acting is great, particularly if you're a fan of Joaquin Phoenix, which I am. And it's sweet to know that he fell in love with Liv Tyler during the filming; their chemistry together is beautiful.
Inventing the Abbotts is an entertaining and tearjerking movie about love, rumors, betrayal and family relations, especially sibling rivalry and conflict. Very well done and I would recommend it.Great cast - CoffeeCriss
You are truly set in the story after only a few minutes into the story. The cast is what makes this movie a delight. I think there is great chemistry with all the actors and it shows through and through. A somewhat believeable storyline. I love that some elements are left unanswered—that's how life really is.better than I thought - Ottawa_JP
No one else on Zip had reviewed this movie, and I Was looking at an unaltered rating of 3 stars, so I was a little skeptical when I rented it "blind". The movie is actually quite good, compelling. If you like movies that have a good story line, this one would be suitable for you.
