This movie has practically every living comedian in it — David Cross, Cheryl Hines, Chris Parnell, Michael McKean, Ray Romano, Jason Alexander, Hank Azaria, Estelle Harris, Richard Kind, and the list goes on.

“The Savages” seems to follow a recent trend of creating thoroughly miserable motion pictures. I mean, who enjoys watching a story about two siblings watching their father slowly deteriorate and die? A show of hands please. That’s right, no one.
Any glimpse of entertainment value is salvaged by the dead-on interplay of the sibling pair [...]
