Movie Haiku:Braff stars in film (co-written with his brother Adam) that is mostly about father/son & brother/brother relationships, & yet these scenes turn into pablum. Ironically even tho they are both on the sidelines, the most resonant scenes belong to Hudson as wife/mother & fabulous young King steals the show in the daughter role. NOT YET SEEN BY RICH
