Contrast that with The Thing about my Folks... Peter Falk and Paul Reiser are a father and son working out their issues on a road trip. Paul Reiser was the writer of this serious yet funny movie. The family secrets and surprises uncovered in this movie could be any race or nationality. When a writer taps into the universal medium of human emotions, he knows he has done something right. Olympia Dukakis and Elizabeth Perkins play the lovable women in this movie about love and relationships. It could be a "chick flick," but it is about men. And it is about time that male issues be discussed just as seriously as female issues. Prime and The Thing about my Folks is the reason that indie film festivals are a pleasure to attend. If they run again, go watch them! Mukul Khurana
