And Terry's attempts to fix the pipes are also well sustained gag. Director Kenneth Lonergan and his cast are amiable, amusing and super super talented. I know Linney got nominated, but Ruffalo and Culkin are truly the soul of this movie. And it's that relationship that provides a crucial moment. Terry doesn't exactly like this reaction and, well.
