Tyler does a decent job while the rest of the actors are excellently cast. The Abbott sisters are played by beauties Jennifer Connelly, Joanna Going and Liv Tyler while the Holt brothers are played by Billy Crudup and Joaquin Phoenix. 'Inventing The Abbotts' boasts of a wonderful ensemble. It also works very well as a character-driven film and there's plenty of symbolism in Ken Hixon's screenplay, giving the film (in combination with the score and beautiful cinematography) a lyrical feel. Most have described this as a romantic film but I see it more as a human drama about relationships and growing up in the 50s. Pat O'Connor's coming of age period piece 'Inventing The Abbotts' tells the story of two brothers and the Abbott family from their point of view (even though Doug does the narrating).
