Funniest Ever!

Rating: Null/10 (26 August 2006)

What an outstanding film!! Definitely one of the best movies I have ever seen. Found myself both laughing and crying at the same time. The acting was superb. The family reminded myself of my own. Why can't Hollywood through out the gadget special effects and come up with real movies like this?? Give me a good plot with good acting anytime over the mainstream. If Alan Arkin doesn't win an Oscar for best supporting actor for this one, there is no justice. The attention to detail was wonderfully exemplified by the actual pageant scene with the spectators in the audience. One of my daughters got enthralled with Irish Dancing and I hated going to those stupid "feishes" with their amped up stage moms. This show had it all.
