Wish I didn't see it so I could see it again

Rating: 10/10 (16 January 2007)

What I enjoyed the most about this film was how real the characters were. You actually LIKED the main characters, unlike those in movies such as Sideways or the children of Tom Cruise in War of the Worlds (I was disappointed they didn't get eaten!) That teenage boy and his notes, Olive and how worried she was about disappointing her father, the way the home looked, what they ate for dinner, all priceless. I enjoyed the irony in the end, where these dysfunctional people who are being judged by others truly are the only ones in the room with any sanity. The immorality of these pageants is exposed by this movie in a glorious way.
