Review of At Home with the Webbers

Brad Marlowe wrote this movie throwing everything but the kitchen sink at people. He could wear a bumper sticker that says, "Hit me, I need to be funny." The Webbers are supposed to be a reality show where a camera records their every activity in a large model home. But in once scene, the daughter (Tilly) smashes a giant planter over Mr. Webber's head. Yet there's not a scratch on him. His patients are seen banging their heads on the wall. The script is witty but could could deliver its point without all the numbing violence. The cast does fine and does deliver some sharp satire about the media's exploitative reality show programs. But making wax doll caricatures out of the Webbers doesn't help his cause.
