Two More Good Summer Movies + Disappointment and Book Recommendation

The Kids Are All Right is a movie about a 2010 family, lesbian parents of 2 teenagers who trace down their biological father. It's well written and acted and gets a solid recommendation here. The other recommendation this posting is Dinner for Schmucks. It starts out slowly and builds up to a very funny movie. A big disappointment is Inception. I just don't get the hoopla for this film. It starts with an interesting idea but quickly devolves into violence and explosions and who cares if these are fantasies of the characters, rather than the usual fantasies of the writers and directors? It's an absurd film with a kill ratio of about 50-1, bad to good guys. Christopher Nolan has come a long way down from his extraordinary film, Memento.
On another front - books, I recently finished Elizabeth George's latest, A Body of Death, and was totally engrossed in another multi-layered mystery in her Inspector Lynley series.
