Amazing!

Rating: 9/10 (6 January 2007)

When I first saw this movie, I was expecting it to be good, because Sundance winners always are, but to my surprise, it wasn't good...it was great! I'll admit, at some parts, I was confused whether it was a comedy or drama, because I expected it to be a comedy (how can you blame me? Steve Carell's in it!) but during the movie, I accepted the dramadey aspect of it. At parts, I'd be crying, but I can't tell now if I was crying because of sadness, or if I was crying because my sides hurt so much. Terrific performances are given by everyone in the cast. How could it not be terrifically funny with Greg Kinnear, Steve Carell, Alan Arkin, Toni Collette, and newcomer adorable- Abagail Breslin. It is not disgusting, like many comedies are, it is just heartwarming and beautiful and hilarious and terrific and winning! I highly recommend that you see this movie (maybe without the little ones).
