This is a story we have all seen before with maybe a few variations. Caleb is smart and obviously disturbed which we find out later is from a recent heart break. He picks up his brother Peter and Peter's girlfriend Emma when they come home from college for Thanksgiving. It turns into a love triangle as Caleb becomes more and more attracted to Emma because she looks like his recent ex. Caleb is estranged from their father so only comes around at night when Emma sneaks a cigarette. First Caleb attacks Emma warning her to not break his brother's heart but then decides what he wants is to sleep with her. Even though the plot is not original by any means, I still really enjoyed the movie and would watch it again. There is some dark humor and the characters are played really well. It's for certain that what makes it most enjoyable is Adam Scott's (Caleb) and J.K. Simmons' (Donald) portrayal of their characters.
