Recently widowed CMU professor (Dennis Quaid) finds that he is forced to reconnect with both his wayward brother, and his neglected daughter and son. Good performances, especially the witty Thomas Hayden Church. Acerbic Ellen Page in an early role. .... One big problem is that there seems next to zero chemistry between the professor and his ER doctor "romance", the heel 👠wearing/hair tossing Sara Jessica Parker.

See more Christopher B @Ikari777 Oct 7, 2022 Smart People could have been a "smart" film but it instead squanders its talent and the screenplay leaves much to be desired. What could have been either a good drama or comedy film, "Smart People" is simply a slow moving and desperate story of miserable people. These characters know their issues but also are under the impression that they can't change and these situations make up a bulk of the story. It's not until the closing frames we see any real attempt at some revelation on the part of our main protagonist. What this means is that we are left with a character who simply is arrogant and conceited and the price he must pay in his relationships isn't overly meditative or amusing in any way. Instead of a smart and entertaining film dealing with the deeply emotional impacts of behavior on relationships and changing for the betterment of said relationships and instead the viewer is left with a contrived mess.

I thought the casting was right on. It showed the development of all the characters quite well and how it resulted from Thomas Hayden Church's character showing up. His character quietly pushed them into dealing with their emotions. See more Read all reviews
