Very Wonderful Comedy

Rating: 6/10 (18 December 2009)

I actually liked this movie. I knew it was something unique by the previews, but once I saw it on DVD, I watched again and again, about three times in one day. It has a good cast, and in fact, I like Steve Carell a lot for this movie than anything else he's ever done. There is a lot in common with our characters; we're both pathetic. Abigail Breslin is adorably cute and funny with the greatest sense of lungs; she can scream so long and so loud. The plot has a lot in common with "National Lampoon's: Vacation" inasmuch as both movies depict a long journey with an embarrassing vehicle and end up with a dead body and an unsatisfied end. However, in this one, it's more about five characters in search of self-discovery and that's where the movie shines.
