Very Funny

Rating: 10/10 (7 September 2006)

Great movie, hilarious and heartfelt! I went to see it with very high expectations and was not let down. The performances were amazing and the casting was spot-on. I enjoyed it immensely. I laughed all the way through, as did most of the audience. I hated Greg Kinnear's character with a fiery passion, as I am sure was the intention of the filmmakers. He plays a pompous ass incredibly well. Toni Collete is always a great actress and this time was no exception. I adored her character and felt her frustration. Steve Carrell may have finally gotten over his massive sucking cinematically. While I love "The Office" I hate almost all his movies b/c they suck. In this movie his is actually funny and poignant. The supporting cast was amazing and hilarious. I was floored by Olive's performance which was both funny and heartrending. Dwayne was great for a laugh and for some inner turmoil. Overall a great movie that everyone with a dysfunctional family should watch!
