Oh brother! (:~(

Rating: 1/10 (26 December 2006)

Just don't understand how this movie got any favorable ratings at all.
It assumes the audience is uneducated. It assumes the audience has absolutely no life skills or street smarts.
The mother was completely unaware of anything to do with the daughter's contest. ("Oh, is that your costume, dear?")
The uncle's preoccupation is never developed. Why introduce it? The brother -- well, he was just filler.
There weren't any stellar performances. Olive's father was obsessed with with his 9-step program, but I was unable to determine how this affected the movie. This was just another ho-hum unrealistic movie with lots of unnecessary expletives and noise.
