I'm just thrilled with this movie; this is definitely one of the most pleasant surprises I've experienced by a movie. This movie is fantastic in all aspects, one complete masterly done performance and thoroughly well performed characters that lead us to a more than interesting and bizarre adventure. The key to this movie lies definitely in a very detailed and realistic implementation of its characters. We are here to meet with a dysfunctional family, which includes characters that are completely different and strange. As a reflection of the quality of writing, in a few minutes we get to know this diverse troupe, their characteristics, dreams, ambitions, weaknesses and tendencies, every little detail so that we get attached to this charming little group in a matter of minutes and through the whole movie we are trying to stay on their side. What really makes this film special is the message we have, and the way it is presented. The message of this film is fantastic summed up in a sentence the character played by Alan Arkin: "A real loser is someone who's so afraid of not winning that he does not even try."
