Birds of America is a decent enough film without ever being great. It has all the heart and humour that was expected when you consider the cast involved and yet it seemed to be lacking that vital ingredient that perhaps would have improved this film.
I think a major problem is that there are just too many subplots going on for the audience to really connect with all of them. It feels like the director Craig Lucas is trying to insert every cliché of independent films into this one picture but when all these elements come together it doesn't make a great film.
Matthew Perry and Lauren Graham are there normal great selves but their story is only one of many that are linked in this film.
Overall an enjoyable enough film that doesn't really do enough to make you want to watch it again.
