Loved it

Rating: 9/10 (19 August 2006)

We were planning on seeing a different movie, but when it was full, decided to see this one instead. I haven't laughed so hard in a movie in a very long time.
We started laughing within a few minutes of the movie starting, found ourselves crying near the end, and then laughing all over again.
This movie takes extraordinarily average people and shows us a slice of their lives. The acting makes them very real and allows for contrived situations to become meaningful rather than outrageous. We see a variety and depth of emotion from every character. It was so well done that several of the situations left me nodding along, agreeing that I would have reacted in much the same way.
If you do not like language or sexual content (no actual sex), this movie is not for you. However, even explicit topics were handled with so much humor, I saw no reason anyone could find offense.
I will see it at least once more before it leaves the big screen.
