“People Like Us” is directed/produced by Alex Kurtzman (Cowboys & Aliens, The Proposal, Star Trek, TV’s “Hawaii Five-O”), written by Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci (Transformers, Star Trek, Cowboys & Aliens) and Jody Lambert (her first writing debut) and composed by award-winning composer A.R. Rahman (127 Hours, Slumdog Millionaire). Chris Pine, who plays Sam, is a twenty-something, fast-talking salesman whose latest deal collapses the day he learns his father has suddenly died. Against his wishes, Sam is called home to put his father’s estate in order and reconnect with his estranged family. While there, he uncovers a startling secret that turns his entire world upside down — he has a 30-year-old sister (Banks) he never knew existed.
Mommy Ramblings Says:
I really liked this movie, it was engaging and the actors were great. From the time Sam learns of the death of his father and the first words out of his mouth are, “What’s for dinner?” you know they had a complicated relationship. When he does finally show up to his childhood home, he is in for a very big shock. Sam soon finds out he is not an only child but that he has a sister and a nephew. His nephew is quite a handful and blows up the school swimming pool, getting expelled until his mom Frankie turns things around on the Principal. Lots of complex relationship and family issues make this a very heartfelt movie and has you thinking about what you would do in the same situation. See, Sam has $150,000 in cash in a shaving case with a note from his father to take care of his sister and nephew that no one knows about but him. My husband and I really enjoyed this movie and I think you will too.
