5.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional drama about a dysfunctional family
Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2022
Verified Purchase
Thoroughly engrossing drama about a
dysfunctional family with a fine performance by Jim Carrey in a unique role for him.

But it is William MacNamara who steals the show as the gay son who has trouble coming out to his girlfriend and his family. His inward struggle comes across as true to life and believable for the era in which the film was made and represents.

All the other actors are impressive in their respective roles. The parents come across as convincing. The actor who plays the gay son’s partner of three years who is dumped by McNamara so that he can marry a girl to please his family is great although on screen for one short scene.

The screenplay is well written and brings the characters to life in the not so perfect family. The story held my attention from the start and never waned.

A fine film which addresses the struggle of a gay man in the 90s and parents who want to control the lives of their adult children.

Still relevant today. Don’t miss it!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best TV movies made in the vein of 'Ordinary People'
Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2011

'Ordinary People' by Judith Guest brought her work into the public, and was an must read, still a popular book on many high school lists, due to the nature of the material. Robert Redford's 1980 movie adaption catapulted it into Oscar gold, with a memorable, chilling performance by Mary Tyler Moore as Beth Jarrett, the mother who doesn't understand her son. Flash forward 12 years later, and this movie, directed by Ken Olin from 'Thirtysomething' is as fine as a followup to 'Ordinary People' as you will find. James B. Sikking and the late Bibi Besch play an ordinary couple with three children, one on the verge of getting married, one married, and one struggling with a drinking problem. They have come together for the wedding of their youngest son, played by William MacNamara, who hides a secret from his fiancee, played by Lori Loughlin. Jayne Brook is the daughter who is struggling to keep her life afloat with her husband, who wants her to have a baby. And Tim, played by Jim Carrey (yes, THE Jim Carrey), can't seem to please his father, no matter what he does. All of the actors are uniformly excellent, but the standout is Jim Carrey. While you may know him as a brilliant comic actor, his portrayal as Tim will break your heart. He has a range that goes from anger, to sadness, to empathy, and you feel for him in every scene. He should have, in my opinion won an Emmy for his role. This is one movie you must not miss, and definitely add to your collection. A powerhouse TV movie, the likes of which we've not seen in many years.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Film For Families
Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2010

Wow, I saw this when I was a teenager. I hadn't come out of the closet yet and I felt so sorry for "Matt" the youngest. I knew just how he felt. Being gay is so difficult, there are just so many things involved with it that it just gets exhausting really fast. But you have to just push forward, because hiding it and denying it is even more difficult.
NE Way -this is not Oprah-

This movie is about an upper middle class family, all of the children are grown and they all are facing their individual issues. Just when you think that all the drama is over, you hit the climax, the most dramatic revelation about the youngest of the adult children. The Golden Boy, Matt. It made me cry, but I think it was so emotional for me because it touched a very real and personal place for me.

Jim Carey is serious in this movie, and he is really good at it. When he isnt acting like a nut, you really get to see that he is actually a VERY talented dramatic actor. William McNamara, yes one of those gorgeous McNamara's is in this movie, along side "Becky" from the show "Full House" and that one lady who was the evil receptionist in that movie "Dont Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead". They all did a great job in this movie, I would recommend this for everyone. Homophobic or not, I think there is something for everyone in this great "made for tv" movie.

They should take this movie and put it in theaters.

4.0 out of 5 stars Aptly titled, or "Ordinary People" with a twist
Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2006
Verified Purchase
Actor Ken Olin tackled directing duties in this 1992 gem of a television movie that elvates family dynfunctionalim to an art form. So tense and raw are the emotions that we actually feel some of the family members are enduring just that - "time" in their own home. The plot is cemented on the pending marriage of the youngest son (William McNamara) to "Full House" alumni Lori Laughlin. But the nupitals hit the skids when the bride-to-be stumbles onto her fiance's "secret:" he's gay, and his upcoming marriage is intended as little more than an obligation to his parents ("Hill Street Blues" veteran James Sikking and the late Bibi Beesch). Exit the potential bride, although she keeps her ex-fiance's "secret" to herself. The disclosure doesn't come until the closeted son drives his car off a road in a suicide attempt and, when the beans are spilled about why the marriage bit the dust and why the son crashed, we learn of this upper middle class family's other dysfunctions: one emotionally shattered and alcoholic son (Jim Carry, in a moving and all-too-rare dramatic performance) who, as one line goes, "drinks himself into oblivion every night," and another son crushed by his wife's secret abortion, done supposedly because the young married's can't "afford" a child. As the parents of a suicidal closeted gay son, another one whose life is going from one drunk to the next night's drunk, and another son whose sense of worth is ravaged, Sikking's character as the father makes us believe the man's gone through life with blinders. Once they're removed, though, Dad makes a valiant effort to begin a fragile healing process. As Mom, however, the late Ms. Beesch makes Mary Tyler Moore's emotionally void mother in "Ordinary People" look like Mother of the Year. We get the sense of this mother as being the warden of the family lockup on Maple Drive, and her hardest pain here is the social embarrassment her son's called-off marriage causes. We get the feeling that she is less a mother and showcases her children as examples of her own imagined achievements. In the end, unlike "Ordinary People," if comparisons are fair, we get no sense of relief for the troubled sons such as was given for the fragile one (Timothy Hutton) of "Ordinary People." We do get a sense of hope, however, that the gay son on Maple Drive might come to some validation with his father's acceptance. No such love from the mother, however. An important social theme unfortunately goes almost unnoted in this film, however: the very real tragedy of young people killing themselves because they're gay (or at least aren't accepted because they're gay). "Doing Time ..." is a worthy project of its type, and it warrants serious viewing. It's so emotionally churning that, by film's end, we actually feel we've finished doing time and have been paroled.

3.0 out of 5 stars Drama über die bürgerliche Familie
Reviewed in Germany on August 7, 2015

Sie könnten eine glückliche Familie sein - sind es aber nicht. Die Carters zerbrechen unter dem bisweilen manischen Zwang der Eltern, nach außen das Bild einer mustergültigen Familie zu zeichnen. In Wirklichkeit leiden die drei Kinder unter diesem sozialen Irrsinn, den erdrückenden Erwartungen, unter deren Last sie sich nicht frei entfalten können. Ihr Erwachsenenleben ist stark belastet von zaghaften Ausbruchsversuchen, die von den Eltern bekämpft werden. Doch irgendwann brechen die unterdrückten Konflikte hervor, eine Eruption, die das Zusammenleben dieser Scheinfamilie vielleicht irgendwann besser machen wird.
Die Bildqualität des Films ist sicherlich nicht mehr zeitgemäß, aber die Schauspielleistungen entschädigen dafür. Einen der Söhne spielt der junge Jim Carrey, kurz bevor er als Ace Ventura und der "Riddler" zum Meister der hysterischen Grimassen avancierte.
