Thanks for Bringing the Room Down

Just saw Joan Allen's other movie out -- "Off the Map." It's about a family living away from civilization in the New Mexico desert. The father is frozen with depression. He describes himself as "a crying machine." He even drinks lots of water to replace the fluids he loses crying. His pre-teen daughter spends her time complaining to companies about imperfections in their products, which results in them sending her replacements. You should see her face when she gets a case of Moon Pies because of the "rat part" she "found" in one she bought in the store.

After seeing the movie, the Father isn't the only one depressed. So if you find yourself too happy or too chipper, check this one out to moderate your mood.
