"People Like Us" has a lot going for it. It's written and directed by Alex Kurtzman, who has penned the scripts of some very good movies including "Star Trek". It has a great ensemble cast headlined by Chris Pine, Elizabeth Banks and Michelle Pfeiffer. The premise of the movie itself is intriguing (a brother and sister meeting for the first time after their father's death). All that adds up to make the final product all the more disappointing. This is an awkwardly put together film with flat characters who interact with each other in bizarre ways, alienating the audience while dragging us to its sappy conclusion. There's too much talent in front of and behind the camera to be content with a mess like this.
