Sudeikis, in particular, shines in
this unusually dramatic role and exhibits a depth he touched on in films like «Sleeping with Other People» and «Colossal» but that he really gets to live in here.
Mom is Lena Olin, the parents of the dead kid are Martin Donovan and Ann Magnuson, doomed Leland's junkie girlfriend (and sister of the dead kid) is an
unusually awful Jena Malone (playing this
role a lot now, too), and dead kid's other sister and boyfriend are Michelle Williams and Chris Klein (who should not now, nor ever, be asked to play a
dramatic scene).
