""Life as a House" beautifully balances #humor and #heartbreak, making it a memorable watch. The stunning #cinematography and the metaphor of building a house reflect its themes of reconstruction, #hope, and second chances. The #chemistry between Kline and the beautiful Kristen Scott Thomas is palpable, while Hayden Christensen's role as the troubled son, Sam, is a standout.
Overall, "Life as a House" is a touching film that lingers in the heart, reminding us of the importance of family."

"I had forgotten about this gem of a film til mama Mia reviewed it. This rich character driven family drama is my fav type of film because action movies sometimes feel hollow, not all of course. It has a great cast, good storyline, I highly recommend it if you haven’t seen it.

"Such a wonderful movie !!!"
Charles Moore
"A movie that has not been given nearly the attention it deserves. Coming of age story but also has more mature content. Define it something that makes you appreciate what you have and make you see things from a new perspective."
