CGiii Comment

An intensely annoying story of greed, dysfunction and disloyalty.

3 vile sisters and a poofy brother...the so-called comedy is nowhere to be found.

This auteur obviously thought she was being quirky and off-the-wall...in reality, banging your head against a brick wall would be quirkier than watching this drudgery.

Strangely, it was nominated for the best foreign language film of 2003...strange.
