Watch the movie to rate it yourself :)

Rating: 10/10 (30 May 2009)

To be honest, when this movie came out in 2006, I did everything I could to avoid watching it, either later on HBO, DVD or the movies. Please I gotta go do something else. Then I was really bored and awake when the regular TV in my hometown showed it so I watched it to pass time. Either I hate a movie or love a movie, usually I am such a critic most movies pass me by being picked down to the bone. But this one actually rendered me to login and write a comment! I seriously did not expect this change of opinion from such a hard nut like me. Kudos to Greg and Paul and Toni and Steve Carrell. Love the part when Paul apologized, made my heart all warm knowing he is not just a 16 year old jerk, but a 16 year old with a heart. I began the story hating all the characters except Olive. But as the story progresses, I began to love all of them! I hated Paul for being a jerk but then changed when he apologized for his screaming fit at his color blindness discovery. Then I hated Greg for his strange uptight ways, then I began to love him and Paul altogether at the same time when Paul ran in to stop Olive from continuing the talent segment. They both wanted to protect Olive. The highlight was when Greg was asked to stop his daughter from continuing the dance and that part actually made me laugh out loud! He unexpectedly joined in to dance! And then Steve and Paul ran up and I clapped!! It was awesome! Their love for Olive was portrayed in the best way a family can. Especically an on screen portrayal. This was unusual, without the regular "fight-cry-hug-happy ever after" family endings. And it took me by surprise that Olive did a strip dance. LOL (lighten up it wasn't child porn, it was still done with innocence and all good clean essence.) I know my comments are jumbled and not in proper chronological order, but I love the part when Olive dedicated the dance to her granddad, and answered, "he is in the back of our trunk" I gotta high five the tattoo guy who stood up and shouted his "yeah!" approval. Overall, yes, deserve a 10 and all cast should be nominated for Oscars for this movie. (Or were they already? Sorry I don't follow these stuff) If the cast were all reading this, bravo, encore, and standing ovation, all of you are quality stars. Indeed. Great movie!!!
