Synopsis

The relationship between two brothers, a father trying to connect with his sons and the young woman who gets between the three of them. The story begins when Caleb Sinclaire reluctantly picks up his brother Peter at college and brings him and his new girlfriend Emma home for the Thanksgiving holiday. Caleb, who recently broke up with his long-time girlfriend and is wary of relationships, warns Peter that Emma will end up hurting him, but he can’t stop himself from being drawn to her. As Caleb’s infatuation with Emma grows, he must decide whether to act on his feelings or protect his brother’s first love. —IMDb

I've now seen Ben Wyatt's ass, and let me tell you - Leslie Knope was riiiiight. Also, props to Brittany Snow's parents for knowing how to spell and for making a talented and beautiful actress.

3.5 Stars. I really loved Adam Scott's dark as hell performance. I related to it until every character turned out to be completely detestable.

I've liked Adam Scott since stumbling upon Party Down and he gives a commanding performance here. And he's really the only reason to see the film, which is otherwise a poorly paced, awkwardly directed, and logic deprived indie family dramedy chock-full of trite revelations and strained tension.

pretty weak film held together by the strong cast. All of the main characters in this film are expertly acted by their players, but other than that, The Vicious Kind has nothing to show for itself. The direction and writing are okay at best. The set pieces are nice enough.
