I wasn't expecting much but was drawn into the complexities presented in this film. The straight-laced son, who not only lives in the shadow of his free-spirited mother, but has a girlfriend who is also an accomplished female he cannot impress. The issues of being one's self were dealt with intelligently and convincingly. Kate Beckinsale was a good choice for Alex as she personifies the tightly wound, A type personality. I also really enjoyed Alessandro Nivola. What a cutie!Laurel Canyon - Leland
McDormand's performance is excellent as usual, but the film left me with little else to rave about. The irony of the plot -- uptight, straight son is embarrassed and confused by uber-hip, post-hippie mom -- isn't enough to carry the movie on its own, and I found that the characters were hard to get attached to. The film is aiming for a level of complexity in them that just doesn't feel real. This is especially apparent with the future daughter-in-law's unconvincingly swift conversion from mousey grad student to sultry, pot smoking sex goddess. Laurel Canyon looks good and sounds good in a Sundance sort of way, but its meandering story and empty ending left me wondering what the point of it was. Rent it if you're a McDormand fan and you simply have to see everything she's done; otherwise, go for a better Sundance film like "In The Bedroom."
