"Strikingly unconventional with great performances"
A very unconventional(but good) movie reminiscent of movies like "Little Miss Sunshine", "American Beauty" & of course "Juno"(not just because Ellen Page is in it), "Smart People" is a true offbeat(& funny at times) drama/comedy about a dysfunctional family and its pursuit of happiness. A very well written script makes this movie interesting and amusing at the same time. The best thing in the movie are the performances. Dennis Quaid is too good as the "I am better than everyone else" professor who is coping with the death of his wife and is in disarray when he finds love again. Thomas Haden Church is awesome as the freewheeling, happy go-lucky adopted brother who brings a little merriment in the life of his otherwise pensive and world-weary teenage niece played by Ellen Page(who is as brilliant as she was in JUNO. All in all a good quirky movie.
