Their comfortable existence goes awry when prodigal daughter Nina Ostroff (Leighton Meester), newly broken up with her fiancé Ethan (Sam Rosen), returns home for Thanksgiving after a five-year absence. Rather than developing an interest in the successful son of her neighbors, Toby Walling (Adam Brody), which would please both families, it's her parents' best friend David who captures Nina's attention. -- (C) ATO Pictures Release Date The Oranges Oct 5, 2012 Limited | |

Review For The Oranges | |
The intervention of Tony Soprano, who lives not far away, is urgently called for. Guy Lodge-Time Out The Oranges does not taste freshly squeezed. Liam Lacey-Globe and Mail The leafy green trees evident everywhere in what purports to be New Jersey Christmas scenes aren't the only thing that feels off in the predictable domestic bedroom comedy The Oranges. Linda Barnard-Toronto Star You want something that plays a little sharper, and cuts a little deeper. You want something that demands more of its performers, and delivers more to its audience. Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger You know the movie has an insurmountable problem when the two adulterers, who profess to be madly in love, don't even seem like they want to be in the same room. Connie Ogle-Miami Herald The Oranges displays an air of efficient economy. Nothing is messy, no beat too long, the actors hit their marks. Steven Rea-Philadelphia Inquirer The acting almost varnishes the fractured surface, enabling the audience to accept the film as a deeply felt, feelgood family comedy. Philip French-Observer [UK] The dialogue's much saltier and sharper than you expect from a drama that's essentially playing it safe. Emma Dibdin-Digital Spy There's plenty of potential for jagged black humour in this suburban comedy-drama, but the filmmakers never take a single risk. Rich Cline-Contactmusic.com The movie's horribly jaunty soundtrack is a problem. Ditto the blah camera-work. But mostly it's the script, which turns out to be spineless. Charlotte O'Sullivan-This is London It's all mildly amusing, if fairly obvious, stuff and it's impeccably played by the superb cast. But you can't help feeling that they all deserve something rather more worthy of their talents. David Aldridge-Radio Times How much you enjoy this comedy will depend upon how gross you consider the idea of a married 50-year-old father having an affair with his best friend's 24-year-old daughter. Grant Rollings-Sun Online A tricky social conundrum is boiled down, lightly prodded and then forgotten by the roadside. Shame. David Jenkins-Little White Lies Disappoints with its gooey liberalism and its failure to find a convincing dramatic register for the central relationship. Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK] I'm not sure a better cast has ever gone more ickily astray than in this most misbegotten of dramedies. MaryAnn Johanson-Flick Filosopher It's no classic but diverting enough. At the very least it will most likely put your family Christmas feuds into perspective. Henry Fitzherbert-Daily Express Marital crisis in the New Jersey suburbs feels like yesterday's soggy granola in this impressively witless clone of American Beauty. Tim Robey-Daily Telegraph Sporadic in its own sparkle, middling in its wit, the film will be required viewing mainly for Hugh Laurie phenomenologists ... Nigel Andrews-Financial Times Engaging dysfunctional family comedy-drama with terrific performances from a superb ensemble cast, though it's not quite as edgy as it should have been. Matthew Turner-ViewLondon An honest look into stale relationships and an ultimately optimistic view of how things can change even if they initially appear slightly ikky. Tim Evans-Sky Movies Beautifully acted, lovingly shot and something of a pre-Christmas treat to enjoy, one segment at a time. Graham Young-Birmingham Post With Laurie and Meester on credible form, The Oranges remains a juicy comic odyssey, pithy to its core. James Mottram-The List An enjoyable but largely forgettable comedy drama. Andy Lea-Daily Star It's overfamiliar stuff, played out in a sitcom-style, and despite some distinguished acting, The Oranges has limited appeal, unless you are Woody Allen. Siobhan Synnot-Scotsman An off-kilter script and winning turns from Laurie, Janney and Meester help disguise how much the film is hedging its bets, flirting with a darkness it never quite dares to embrace.
