The Rest of Us reminded me a little of Stepmom. It's the story is an ex-wife who takes her ex-husband's wife and daughter in when they find themselves suddenly homeless. We start out with a lot of hatred, resentment and conflict, and over the course of the film the various characters sort out their issues, find common ground, and reach new understandings of each other and themselves. It's not so deep or complicated, but it works. The performances are wonderful, and North Bay is a nicer setting for it than I would have guessed. Recommended!
