Uneven but moving story of reconcilliation.

Life as a House reaches easily past all your intellectual and emotional barriers, back into that spot behind your heart, where the levers that release tears are stored.

...the people who assembled Life as a House imagined it as a kind of American Beauty for the slightly more-literal-minded, for those who hated or felt baffled that film will likely like and apprehend this one.

There's a prefab construction to Life as a House that prevents it from acquiring the emotional solidness it needs to stand out.

Remember the movie Terms of Endearment, about a mother-daughter relationship, a terminal illness and a message about not taking people for granted?

House may suffer from excessive and unnecessary ornamentation, but its foundation -- Kline's performance -- is solid and strong.

Thank goodness there are actors capable of delivering performances better than the scripts they're given. Too bad there aren't more of them in this movie.

The movie gets us to feel about the characters, their relationships, and their circumstances, and that goes a long way towards allowing us to forgive the screenplays' occasional mis-steps and wrong turns.

Kline never lets the soap-opera implications get the better of him.
