Wow....

Rating: 9/10 (7 January 2008)

This movie, honestly, changed me in a way. I know that is a bit dramatic, but hear me out. The underlying positivity in the movie is so refreshing. You can tell that the characters in the movie want to come across as cynical and cold, but they are all very caring and loving people. They are honest, upfront, candid, and amazing. My personal favorite is T.K Simmon's character, Mac McGuff. He is hilarious and warm, and a realistic father. Ellen page is an amazing actress and does a great job in role that I would consider to be VERY difficult. I personally believe that she WILL be a star very soon. The other actors in this film only help it. There is variety within the cast, there is humor, there is a whit, and a TON of realism. I have never known a family or group of friends like this, but something about the movie makes it feel so real. Garner, Bateman, and Janney are all very good in this movie. Watch it, PLEASE!
