A respectable tearjerker, Life as a House is a welcome throwback to angst-ridden family dramas like Ordinary People and Terms of Endearment. It falls short of those modern classics, but you'll probably still need Kleenex if you appreciate Kevin Kline's underrated dramatic skills. As the title suggests, Kline's project is a broad metaphor for repairing damaged lives from the foundation up. Playing an architect with terminal cancer, he gives an Oscar®-caliber performance, reaching out to his estranged, nihilistic son (future Star Wars star Hayden Christensen) and ex-wife (Kristin Scott-Thomas) as he wrecks and rebuilds the Malibu cliff-top home that contained his most painful memories. Director Irwin Winkler's flair with actors helps to minimize lapses in a script (by As Good As It Gets scribe Mark Andrus) that occasionally borders on maudlin. Overall, this is a fine reminder that Hollywood hasn't lost its soul to action and special effects. --Jeff Shannon

Customer Reviews of Life as a House (New Line Platinum Series)

Tear Jerker
Everyone in my household, cried throughout this whole film. It was extremely moving. The second time we watched it we cried a bit less. Still its a very enjoyable movie.


family drama
Kevin Kline plays a father learning to live with his mistakes and trying to connect with his addicted,near suicidal,son and estranged wife while dealing with his oncoming death.<
><
>Using a house as a metaphor in tearing down then rebuilding his family was very clever and allowed a family dynamic to be studied during reconstruction.<
><
>The cast made this story very sentimental but with a strong portrayal of their faults.<
><
>I highly recommend this movie.


Why you'll love Life as a House ... if you're over 40!
Sure, people discovered Hayden Christensen after it was announced that he was Darth Vader. But some of us saw him before that in "Life as a House," which is NOT about teen angst but more about aging and regret. Kevin Kline is brilliant as a frustrated architect at the end of his life, trying to correct a life littered with mistakes: career, family, personal feelings. The story chronicles his attempts to reconnect with his estranged son, makes amends to his ex-wife and leave behind something positive and tangible to record his presence on earth. There's laughter, tears and a lot of catharsis.
