Read MoreI love, love, love this movie! Subversive commentary on modern American culture but still with a hopeful, poignant edge that doesn't go totally cynicall on you. I don't generally enjoy movies billed as "comedies" in mainstream theaters, but this was one of the funniest and most sharp-witted movies I've seen in a long time. The last time I laughed aloud like this in the theater was when I saw the remake of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" with Johnny Depp. Perhaps that gives you an idea of the type of humor in this movie....

It was well made and very well acted.
Allow me to pose a discussion question for you to consider as you watch it: Which one of the main characters is the
LEAST dysfunctional? Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

I can not stand Alan Arkin, and he is horrible in this flick. He plays the over-the-top, twisted grandpa char that is neither funny nor remotely believable.

He plays the over-the-top, twisted grandpa char that is neither funny nor remotely believable. That said, I thought the movie had enough talent and mildly amusing scenes to rescue at least three stars. It is NOT a family movie, so beware. Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

I wasn't sure if it was supposed to be a drama or a comedy. The writing was absolutely terrible but I have to say, the characters were strong and well developed. All the actors were good but the story was just flat. Close this ReviewWAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes

I should have known from all the awards and critical acclaim this film received that it wasn't for me. It was humorous at times, but mostly it was just a boring waste of 99 minutes. WAS THIS REVIEW HELPFUL? Yes
