这个家庭有着一对父母、青青十二个孩子和一堆宠物，青青热闹混乱的局面反而为家庭增添快乐。尤其是那些性格不一、年龄各异的儿女们，就像活宝一样深得父母欢喜。现在，这家人正面临着前所未有的变化：因为父亲汤姆（史蒂夫·马丁 Steve Martin 饰）要去大城市的高校球队任教，他们要搬往那里生活了，这亦意味着，孩子们会有更好的教育和更广阔的发展空间；当然，父母日渐繁忙的工作也会削减他们和孩子沟通的时间。母亲凯特（邦尼·亨特 Bonnie Hunt 饰）的作家事业也如日中天，甚至要离家宣传新书。孩子们已经和父母日渐生疏，大城市的生活让这个家庭得到了日渐光鲜的地位，却失去了内在的情感纽带。看来，汤姆和凯特要重新思考和抉择了。

回复 :When the film begins, it is all over. “We know it’s terminal, and that’s all”, says Juliane of her mother Kerstin, who is in great pain and about to die aged just 64. Although the young doctor she consults acknowledges on a personal level that everyone has the right to manage their own death, he nonetheless reminds her that euthanasia is still illegal in Germany. This is even more the case at the Catholic hospice where Kerstin is staying. As relatives come to say goodbye to her mother and the emotions of memories mingle with the anticipation of grief, Juliane finds herself having to do battle with time – unbending, apathetic and monochrome – and this is superbly reflected in the convulsions of the handheld camera in wide shots.Based on personal experience, Jessica Krummacher’s second feature film vividly relates the painful story of losing a parent. There is no violence or morbidity, rather the director describes the most important of events via the smallest, most fragile of details – the exchanging of words, texts and tender gestures that remain with us and get under our skin.

回复 :Is it just another evening at the hugely popular Italian restaurant of proprietor and bookmaker Louis Cropa in New York? Anything but as tonight's guests include; a local police detective and his wife specially invited by the owner; on the balcony rival bookmaker gangsters from Queens who want to become partners in the restaurant; in the corner renowned food critic 'the food nymph' is her usual demanding self; and at the bar, seemingly unnoticed, is Ken. As the evening continues enter Duncan, inveterate gambler and sous-chef on-the-line in the frenetic kitchen downstairs, who acts as the catalyst that causes the evening to draw to its inevitable, explosive, deadly conclusion.
