On a Monday morning, you see them all there

Little Children - 61 (Todd Field)

What was with the narration? Seriously, when it first started, I thought that it was going to suck, then it was actually pretty funny, then it disappeared. Then it came back later on, before leaving for good soon after that. That was odd. Is this Todd Field the same Todd Field that was in a truly horrible movie I saw called Beyond The City Limits (or Rip It Off, it was so bad it needed 2 titles)? In The Bedroom was maybe slightly better, but it has been a long time since I saw it, and I have bad memories of the last third of that movie.
