The Penns are typical of the current state of Hollywood. Daddy had a job directing TV shows 40 years ago, so now we have to be saddled with the whole talentless family.
There was a time where the people who made it in show business were genuinely talented, extraordinary people. You paid to watch them because they made it worthwhile. But nowadays everybody is somebody's kid, or belongs to the same Kaballah ring or Scientology coven, and there is nothing extraordinary about them.
If I am going to look at a bunch of ordinary people, I'll deal with the people at my job, my neighborhood or my church. They're in Sense-Surrond 3D Hi-Rez Super-Wide-Screen format, and they're free!
All of the Penn family, as well as Chris's friends, deserve our prayers and sympathy.
