It's the summer before 6th grade, and Clark (Jackson) is the new-in-town, biracial kid in a sea of white. Discovering that to be cool he needs to act 'more black,' he fumbles to meet expectations, while his urban intellectual parents Mack (Ellis) and Gina (Lynskey) also strive to adjust to small-town living. Equipped for the many inherent challenges of New York, the tight-knit family are ill prepared for the drastically different set of obstacles that their new community presents, and soon find themselves struggling to understand themselves and each other in this new suburban context.

Little Boxes does have moments of authentic connection, as Gina explains to her son why she doesn’t want him to latch onto demeaning female body images in media and his father proceeds by having an exhausted moment of silence rather than lecture him.

“Peyton Place,” “The Stepford Wives,” “The Amityville Horror,” “Poltergeist,” “American Beauty,” “The Ice Storm” and the complete works of John Updike. What do they all have in common? A sense of fear and loathing of that vast and insular wasteland known as suburbia.

Rob Meyer's culture-clash comedy is low on dramatic incident but high on likability.

Failing to puncture the tension with consistent humor, the self-seriousness of each scene grows increasingly tedious as Little Boxes runs out of stimulating material.

In a brief moment of sensitivity, a fight between Gina and Mack late in the film sees Gina, after Mack tells her that she’ll never know what it’s like to be a black person in a white world, confessing that Mack and Clark’s bond makes her feel like an outsider in her own family.
