Won't You Please be my Neighbor?

Arlington Road (1999)

What a load of pretentious garbage. Terrorist neighbors? I almost bought it until the flashback when the wife gets blown away by the redneck housewife with a baby in one arm and a shotgun in the other. Sad filmmaking at it's worst. It's a funny time capsule in a way because this was pre-911 paranoia... of course Tim Robbins does look a little like Osama Bin Laden if you squint REAL hard, but then Joan Cusack ends up looking like Rosie O'Donnell.
