This might be Jason bateman's best performance. Coming to grips with what our parents want us to be and who we are are two different things. In this movie the parents unnaturally usurp children to be immersed in the parents' fantastical games. The beauty of a sibling relationship is on display by Kidman and Bateman. Walken does an equally impressive job being committed to the role. Walken does a great job consistently seeing others as his players - not as much "going to baseball games " as being the umpire and manager. You will understand my last reference after seeing the movie (it won't spoil it for you).
