This film was amazing.

Rating: 10/10 (19 August 2006)

I couldn't have asked for more from this movie. Everything about it was excellent. The acting, the story, the mix of characters...everything was excellent. The movie's bipolarity also made it great. One minute I was laughing at the dysfunctional scenarios and the next minute I was sympathizing with the characters as they each struggled to keep themselves intact so that they could get Olive to the beauty pageant on time.
Also, as someone else stated, although Steve Carrel did an amazing job, this is not his movie. In fact, there is no lead role in this movie. Every member of the family plays an equally important role and all do an outstanding job.
