A respectable tearjerker, <I>Life as a House</I> is a welcome throwback to angst-ridden family dramas like <I>Ordinary People</I> and <I>Terms of Endearment</I>. 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<sup>®</sup>-caliber performance, reaching out to his estranged, nihilistic son (future <I>Star Wars</I> 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 <I>As Good As It Gets</I> 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. <I>--Jeff Shannon</I> *Viewer Reviews* THIS IS A HEARTWARMING FILM ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS. KEVIN KLINE, AS ALWAYS, IS RIGHT ON CHARACTER IN THIS ROLE. WORTHWHILE OWNING THIS MOVIE. Back To Top
