My Family Tree takes us on a journey to various countries and political regimes, showing Jānis’ ancestors to be people of diverse fates and life stories. A rich Latvian trader, a red rifleman loyal to Lenin, a carpenter with the KGB and war refugees in Sweden are only a few branches on his family tree, and the boy has heard something unusual and unforgettable about each and every one of these people.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

A romantic comedy a bit difficult to believe but with good acting and a strong song score. Jennifer Garner and Tim Olyphant were particularly strong in their roles.

I never wrote any reviews but I felt socially responsible to warn the public. Avoid this film at all cost. Waste your time staring an empty glass will be more valuable. Jennifer Garner can't act and her character is boring beyond belief. Other characters are equally meaningless. Zero chemistry detected. The plot is very silly and unbelievable. This film is now landed in my trash bin.

My favorite part of the movie was the romance between Jennifer Garner and Timothy Olyphant's character. The scene where they kissed in the garage just made my heart jump! I consider it as one of the best movie kissing scenes ever. It was hot and full of passion. Even though their romance wasn't really the main part of the story, it was the only part I really liked about the movie. Other then that it was pretty light-hearted and funny. I adore Garner's character who is humorous and not afraid to speak her mind. Olyphant's character is just... sexy and seductive. Overall this is a good movie. One of my favorites? No, not quite there yet.

Film is a schizophrenic hodge-podge of elements from chick flick sentimentality and a frat beer drinking party sideshow. The attempt to mix the two is handled with little cohesion, and never seals the deal for either audience (and certainly falls short of appealing to both, which is what it seems to want).We meet a grieving woman (Jennifer Garner) who was engaged, but her fiancé dies just before the wedding. That would seem to be an emotional story of healing and moving on, right? Wrong. At the funeral, we meet his idiot friends (Kevin Smith and two other jokers, all who turn in rotten performances). What one of them is doing at the funeral home is appalling; to put it bluntly, the guy is a jerk. OK, so it's supposed to be a sophomoric comedy? Wrong again.Grit your teeth, there's still more clichéd characters coming. Enter the blonde bimbo, and her weird kid. A lot of the plot revolves around these two. She mumbles about yoga; the kid just stands around robotically throwing CD's on the floor. Real cute; I wanted to throw a ten ton crate of CD's on his head. Anyway, these two have a secret that drives the plot along. Presence of kid = suspicion. If you catch my drift.People do stuff that doesn't add up. There's a romance that has as much chemistry as two patches of dead seaweed. The attraction makes no sense, either, in light of earlier events in the story. Most characters suddenly change in odd ways, rather than evolve logically. Random sight gags evoke no laughs. The kid continues to be obnoxious.Nobody in the cast except for Garner makes any effort; they just don't seem to care. Even Ben-Jen's work here is not quite up to par, in light of her proved potential in other roles.The ending is ridiculous (and about as likely as the odds of winning a 50 million dollar lottery). It's like somebody tagged it on, because they didn't know how to close out the thing. The movie never does figure out which genre(s) it wants to be, either.
