Moritz  Director : Daniel Sackheim  Starring : Leelee Sobieski, Diane Lane, Stellan Skarsgaard, Trevor Morgan, Bruce Dern  Synopsis A loving couple living in southern California adopt two teenagers who lost their parents. However, after the children move in with the couple, they begin to suspect that their adoption was planned in advance of their parents's death  Critic Reviews Leelee Sobieski stars as Ruby, a typically rebellious 16-year-old who drives her loving parents to distraction. She picks on her Nintendo-obsessed younger brother (Trevor Morgan), but at heart she's a fun-loving Valley Girl who genuinely loves her family and life. Then one night, her life is turned upside down. She sneaks back home after skipping curfew, only to find an army of police cars waiting for her: Her parents have died in a car accident. Friends of the family take her and her little brother in. The Glasses (Stellan Skarsgard and Diane Lane) live in a spacious, beachfront house made predominantly of glass, which as the title suggests serves as a metaphor throughout the film. They shower the kids with gifts and reassurances that they have nothing to worry about. But Ruby begins to suspect that her new guardians aren't what they initially appear to be, and she's quickly proved right. She has a hard time convincing the army of simple-minded adults whose job it is to keep an eye on her and her brother that the Glasses are cracked. The story's belabored set-up clues you in to how thoroughly unimaginative the film's script and plot are. And the acting doesn't help. There are some very talented actors - starting with Sobieski - in this film who deliver community theater-caliber performances. Lane and Skarsgard are simply wasted; as carbon-copy villains in designer duds, neither puts much passion into any of their scenes. There are urban legends that have more bite than this tired and cliched assemblage of tilted camera angles, pensive looks and double-entendre-laced dialogue. This "Glass House" shatters under the weight of its predictability.   For rating reasons : filmrating.com, mpaa.com                                    For Parents : Parentalguide.com
