Preview: Welcome to the Rileys (2010)

Synopsis:

After the death of their daughter, a husband and wife slowly fall apart amid recriminations and sorrow, but when the husband takes it upon himself to help a young stripper who reminds him of his daughter, he begins the slow healing process that will hopefully help both he and his wife cope.

• Poster: C-

Review:

Another humdrum, boring poster with a colorless background and lifeless photos. This format is going to be heavily used for some time and sometimes it will work, but oftentimes it will turn out just like this. Hopelessly bland.

• Trailer: B

Review:

I like the idea and James Gandolfini and Melissa Leo look quite good, but Kristen Stewart is a distraction and her few scenes don't show any dynamic qualities as an actress, so it could be a detriment to the whole production.

Oscar Prospects:

Gandolfini and Leo may receive some chatter, but a lot of critics will have to support the film for it to earn much.

Release Date:

• October 29, 2010
