The Gift: Michael Bluth is a Dick

The Gift has gotten really good reviews and limited press, so I was excited to check it out. The story follows Jason Bateman and his wife as they move into a new place in California and start their life over after a miscarriage. Bateman runs into a "friend" from high school who starts dropping off gifts, showing up a lot, and pissing Bateman off. I don't want to really give a ton of the story away, but it does a great job of slowly unravelling back story and plot while keeping you primarily in the dark. Excellent performances throughout and hats off to Joel Edgerton for writing, directing, and starring in a tough role on this one. Bottom Line: 8.6 out of 10. Worth seeing in theatres. Bateman plays an asshole REALLY, REALLY well and that's scary. I think he should be a campaigning politician that just shreds everyone and everything. Can I get royalties for this great idea?
