Huge little movie

Rating: 10/10 (25 November 2006)

I was blown away by this picture. I went to the theater hoping to see one of the blockbusters but I had to see this one, I got so much more that what I was bargaining for. This is a family that rides together, most families don't, actually so few do, but this is a beautiful example of family integration. They go to all kinds of problems, deep problem, not only as a family but as individuals, they all went to hell and back in that trip and they still pulled together. These are the best parts on my opinion. They all travel over 1000 miles just to see the little girl's contest. When the father says "No, we are going to California" and they steal the body, that's a unit doing it, not a man. When Franks says "I learned so much more in the bad years", that's what the movie is all about. And of course when they all go on stage, the uptight father, the more uptight and depresive uncle and brother who was so against it and they all dance together with the girl, that's a family.
Everyone involved in this project should be proud, this is how you make a movie about fratello love.
