Friday night I have the pleasure of going to the Tribeca Film Festival with a wonderful and dear friend of mine. Some would be surprised to find this out (I was among them) that the films were not only aired in Theaters in Tribeca. Armed with this new knowledge, I finished up work and make my way to the lower east side to see “The Perfect Family.” Kathleen Turner was hilarious. Her comedic timing was not only impressive but truly heartfelt and entertaining. She was likable while being nutty. I have to say it though and I am sorry but man the years have been tough on her face. Not sure if she went a couple of round in the ring with a UFC fighter or if the booze is finally taking its effect after years of drinking but she is looking more and more like Mickey Rourke every day. Man O Man! With that said, she does a stellar job playing the highly religious matriarch of an unconventional family. I think most people would truly enjoy this film and I believe films like this are was make the Tribeca Film Festival the success it is. This festival is always full of heart and compelling stories. They might be off the beaten back, but they always leave you thinking days later. That is one of the reason I love going every day (I am thankful that it has become more of a personal tradition for me). If you have a chance to see this movie definitely remember the title. You won’t be sorry :)
