Movie Haiku:Igby’s family is a contemporary WASP version of Salinger’s beloved Glass family; just like Holden Caufield, Igby’s a rebellious teenage monster on the lam. Culkin’s younger brother Rory plays Igby in all the flashbacks. Claire Danes & Amanda Peet are the women he meets. Sarandon’s fabulous as "Mimi" (Igby's mother).
