dysfunction families are normal

Rating: 10/10 (14 January 2007)

I loved it. Absolutely loved it. I watched it, and then started it again to watch it over.
This film is a classic example of the dysfunctional family of the 21st century. Well it makes me think that my family is a lot more "normal" than I would have previously thought.
Though there are parts of the film that are not humorous, in whole--the film seems to give you a great laugh in the last 10 minutes. The yellow, VW bus makes it that much better.
Steve Carrell "Uncle Frank" Is hilarious, but also excels in this serious role.
Abigail Breslin "Olive" Is the new "it" girl.
Toni Collette "Sheryl, Mom" Makes a fantastic not-so-all-American-mother.
Greg Kinear "Richard, Dad" Incredibly convincing role as a complete failure.
Paul Dano "Dwayne" I know we'll be seeing in many films to come.
