Little Children is a good film that fails to be great. As usual with major studio films with big stars, the acting was very good and it was well shot. However, it was too long in parts (aka it dragged) and most importantly the very dramatic stories fell flat at the end. Here you have complex relationships with interesting characters, then all of a sudden they go, "Oh, I guess I'll stop doing that thing now," then finish going about their day. Jackie Earl Haley's perfomance was Oscar worthy as a pedofile.The movie poster and preview don't exactly represent the film. It is a bit creepy and sexy at moments, but primarily it's a film about relationships, family, and personal struggle. The trailer had me expecting a horror film.
In theaters now.
