4/5 Movie Review: The Other Sister
  by KKD (Pratt, KS USA)
The main characters in the family included Carla (Juliette Lewis) as the developmentally disabled daughter, the nervous mother (Diane Keaton), the doctor father (Tom Skerritt), and two other daughters; the middle daughter and the oldest daughter. Carla finds a boyfriend, Daniel or Danny (Giovanni Ribisi), who also has a developmental disability. The movie tells a story of family dynamics. The father tries to keep a balance in the family and show each of his daughters that he loves them despite their choices or abilities. The mother attempts to maintain control over things to which she cannot control. She has a desire to maintain a perfect picture to the rest of the upper class society, but alienates her daughters in the meantime. The oldest daughter is gay and feels like an outcast when she comes home to visit. She is not able to bring her partner home for the holidays or for special occasions, and the family is not supposed to mention the fact that she is gay to the other members of society. The middle daughter obtained a college degree, but the mother is not satisfied with her choice to "just" be a second grade teacher. Her mother would feel more proud to be able to brag that her daughter was a professor at a university. Carla seems to cause problems in the home. At a young age her mother sent her off to school for ten years. When Carla returns, at age seventeen, she tries to let her mother know that she can make decisions and would like to live life out from under her mother's overbearing control. This movie was humorous and enjoyable.

when i ordered the other sister, it said the movie was in perfect condition. I received it with a huge scratch running nearly all the way aound the disc. it will play only parts of the movie without skipping madly. I am rather disappointed.

I first saw this movie on Starz and it was the most wonderful movie I have ever seen. The Actors and story line were fantastic. After my daughter saw it she kept asking for the movie.

4/5 daughters love it

My daughters and all their friends absolutely loved this movie back in junior high school. All their friends and they could recite each and every line. They are seniors in college now but lost their VHS copy and couldn't find it anywhere. I ordered a DVD for each of my twins for Christmas. We all gathered 'round and watched it together. Great family movie. No doubt they'll be introducing it to all their college friends now.

5/5 good buy
