Families have their own rhythm. An interloper, like a new girl friend, can upset the balance. Trying to fit in can be a trial with the family as judge and jury. What is even worse is the sense of frustration when another stranger arrives and fits in like a hand in glove. Why them? Meredith Morton (Sarah Jessica Parker) tries her darndest but the family, but for Owen Stone (Luke Wilson), has a good laugh at her expense, particularly daughter Amy (Rachel McAdams) who goes out of her way to mess Meredith around despite trying for her approval. Then Julie (Claire Danes), Meredith’s sister, shows up and finds a spot without a single misstep. Arrrgh…

Most everyone has some sort of fetish. Many people have more than one. It is often at the most inappropriate times that we discover what it is. We wonder how much attention we have to expend in order to keep it under control. At times, we share what it is with others in hopes to find understanding, acceptance or, periodically, a like-minded devotee. Or we might find ourselves shunned by those who lack the understanding of how a fetish can influence what we do and how we live. If it is family, we can find a way to ignore it and get along with the day to day life and hope that they’ll get over it and not bring embarrassment to the household. Diane Arbus (Nicole Kidman) has found hers and it is tearing her family apart. She spends too much time in the company of Lionel Sweeney (Robert Downey Jr.) and his coterie of unusual friends and her family doesn’t know what to do about it. She was urged to explore her artistic side by her husband Allan (Ty Burrell) and she embraced it to the exclusion of her familial responsibilities without a thought for them. She doesn’t appear to want to surface from the world in which she has immersed herself.

There are times when we find ourselves acting like people with which we’d rather not associate. It happens in baby steps and inattention to what is going on around us and our actions towards others. Simple acts of arrogance, minor activities of excess, unexpected stages of ignorance all contribute to getting bigger than one’s britches. Huo Yuanjia (Jet Li) confronts his rival Chin at his birthday party after one of his students is beaten up by him. The fight costs Huo his oldest friend Nong Jinsun (Yong Dong) and Chin his life. In revenge, Chin’s godson massacres Hou’s household before he commits suicide.
