The Estate

"Even as the rudeness escalates, the pace stays sluggish..."

"Fortunately, the cast members are game to play their characters’ attempts at flattery in the most unflattering manner possible."

"The execution is where it’s lacking: the wit, the timing, the headlong comic drive..."

"The Estate does have the courage of its convictions; the problem is, its convictions never develop beyond “people like money” and “people sometimes call each other naughty words.”"

"Even with an embarrassingly rich cast, The Estate chokes on its own airlessness."

"It takes truly terrible script to make such charming and accomplished comedic actors seems so wooden and lifeless."

"The very impressive cast give it everything they’ve got; nothing with Collette in it can be bad."

"A brazenly funny adults-only movie."

"It’s a decent premise but, sadly, it amounts to less than the sum of its parts."

"A quality cast, led by the always watchable Collette, gives the film a veneer of class. Alas, it very quickly rubs off."

"Painful and tacky..."

"Nothing but poor aims and misfiring gags."
