While some complex themes like abandonment and redemption are touched upon lightly, there's not much room for anything else to breathe with Farmiga's exaggeratedly neurotic character overshadowing some of the more interesting relationships."

A movie with no reason to exist apart from setting into motion an otherwise interesting cast, led by Christopher Plummer and Vera Farmiga.

That's the easy, low-grade charm of "Boundaries." Like the effects of Grandpa's weed, its performances loosen up - and at times even find the profundity in - a stiff and sometimes silly tale.

Boundaries keeps the syrup on medium, and Plummer looks like he's having a ball. If you have a penchant for broken wing syndrome, you may want to let this one into your life.

I found myself laughing quite a bit and felt great at the end of the journey. The comedy isn't trying to get you all up in your feelings, it just wants you to enjoy the ride.

Feste isn't shooting for easy laughs, or even prolonged ones. She wants nervous giggles to come with a muttered "there but for the grace of God go I."

The film... crosses a line - between engaging idiosyncrasy and floundering improbability, amusing and cringeworthy.

Writer-director Shana Heste's film never transcends its clichés, wasting fine actors on a screenplay that whipsaws between broad comedy and shrill drama.

The writing is smart and funny, the scenery along the Pacific coast is glorious, and the performances are all topnotch. It was a labor of love for the director, and her close connection to the material is apparent.

[Plummer] is incapable of mediocrity, but damn if the script doesn't draw him close to the edge.

It's the best thing Feste has made to date, which isn't saying much, but she shows newfound interest in emotional authenticity here.

Plummer and Farmiga are great together. If only they'd been given material to suit their skills.
