A beautiful movie

Rating: 9/10 (20 August 2006)

I was not really expecting this movie to be as great as it was. I knew it was going to be a comedy/drama about family relationships, but I did not expect the characters to be so real, nor did I expect to fall in love with each of them. The comedy is quite funny, with some scenes being downright hysterical - and that kind of laughter is so wonderful to experience.
But the message of the movie - that as long as you have your family, nothing else really matters - came across so strongly but never felt forced. It made me want to be a part of this make-believe family, because despite all their faults, their love for each other gets them through everything.
