Lauren Graham to attend Sundance Film Festival
January 9, 2008 by Arieanna
Lauren Graham will be attending the Sundance Film Festival later this month for the premiere of ‘Birds of America’, previously known as ‘Laws of Motion’ which co-stars Matthew Perry, Ben Foster, Hilary Swank and Ginnifer Goodwin.
‘Birds of America’ will premiere at a luncheon on January 21st. It will have its first public screening (its World Premiere) on January 24th at 5:30pm. Early reviews are very positive for both Lauren and Matthew, and that the movie is a good independent film. The Sundance Film Festival celebrates the best in independent filmmaking.
The movie is about middle-class suburban families - the standard kids grow up and move out thing. But Morrie Tanager (Matt Perry) never got to leave - his parents died and he raised his brother & sister. The family is a bit odd - one a broke promiscuous artist, the other rather antisocial, while Morrie himself is a chronic pleaser. The siblings that Morrie raised are now back under one roof. The movie is about "socialization and growing up when there are no grown ups." To each character, that means different things.
Lauren Graham plays Betty, Morrie’s wife. The arrival of the siblings upsets the social balance in the house and the tenure the couple are attempting to secure for Morriw in his "repressive career." Their marriage is on the rocks and the family only spells disaster. Lauren Graham says her character, Betty, thinks the sibligns are "freaks".

is it in movie theaters?? or tv??
The early showing time is a good sign of the movie’s quality as bad movies tend to get buried late in the evening at film festivals. 10pm or later. And movies that run later than midnight are generally DOA unless they have some sort of camp-cult factor to them.
Although I certainly hope that whatever distributor picks the movie up, that distributor (Great
mandates that the title of the movie be changed.
For any movie buffs out there, I suggest that the title of the movie be changed to “Dancing About Architecture.”
