This movie was hilarious. The story of this family was compelling with several really tender moments admist all the dysfunction! Each character is played perfectly by the actor in that role. I wouldn't change a thing in this movie. It is well written, well acted, funny throughout and very poignant. I loved the sense of family they were able to portray through all the chaos of their lives.

I would highly recommend this movie and look forward to others' reviews.

At last! Someone else posted. Thanks Karen. I just assumed that more people would be seeing this now. Has it not come to your area yet?

Oh, no -- it's come. I just don't do the theatre thing. I'd much rather watch movies on my couch in my pyjamas.

Saw this last night and LOVED it. I haven't laughed out loud in the theater in ages, but this movie had me in stitches throughout. This hilarious, touching, wonderfully written and wonderfully acted movie won me from the first scene. Highly recommended!!

The acting is great, especially the little girl. Alan Arkin is such a weirdly cool guy. We also laughed out loud and chuckled afterwards talking about the funny bits. There is a serious subtext which kept it from being a mindless comedy. One of the better movies we've seen this year.

Loved this movie! I said to my sister who I saw it with, this is why people love indie movies...because they are movies with heart. The big studio films don't have much of a heart anymore.

Four o'clock found me sitting alone in the last row of the theater waiting patiently for the 4:35 showing of this movie. I was happily munching on my popcorn and drinking my Mountain Dew slushie counting ceiling tiles and wondering what this movie would be about. My sister soon joined me...we were there on the recommendation of my niece who had assured us that we would like the movie. She was right. I enjoy a movie with layers of meaning and plenty of symbolism. Why hasn't this little gem been advertised?!

All the actors did a fine job, but I am particularly impressed with the youngest actors...they really did an incredible job and the teen did most of his acting without saying word.

It's always a good movie if it makes you laugh and cry, right?

knowing 'grandpa' taught her the talent routine made me laugh out loud when she performed. the main lady at the pageant was on 'maximum bob' (she was married to the guy who played 'larry' of larry, darryl and darryl fame on 'newhardt' in 'maximum bob' and they both had the same eyeglass prescription "on account of us bein' brother and sister, once removed")...she also played a meany on 'malcolm in the middle' where she threw out lois' bake sale items...great character actress.
i can't tell you how often i had to find people to help me start my MG that way...and on the hills in san francisco, you needed to be IN the car right away LOL

this movie was awesome! I certainly hope it gets some oscar buzz. I am sick to death of the oscars not acknowledging comedies, especially when every great actor always says comedies are harder to do.

People applauded like 4 times in our theatre. What a great film!

I was hoping for some flirtation between the pageant guy and Steve Carells character though.

Just finished watching this one at home. Of course the last "dance" number is at the forefront of my mind. What a cute movie, and I loved the little girl. I like a quirky movie that is a bit subversive at the same time. I agree with the person who said each person was cast perfectly for their character.

Fine family fun.

We're still chuckling about this movie and we saw it in August. It made a memorable, good imprint on us. We'd like to rent it to share with our older kids. I think they'd really enjoy it too. Now I'm psyched...maybe over the Christmas holidays! Yup, that's on my agenda now.

Saw this fun movie back in September, but will definitely add it to our Netflicks list to enjoy again!

I enjoyed this movie a lot! It is very good, and not your typical movie.

This is not a family movie though, it is rated R and has a lot of bad language.

Saw this when it first came solely based on Ebert and Roeper's review. Similar to the other experiences noted, applause broke out at the end of the movie. Then, people actually sat in their seats talking about it while the credits were rolling. Not the mass exodus that you normally find at a movie's end. I think that no one wanted the experience to end. You just wanted to see what happened on the trip home. I still chuckle when I think about that VW van and when they left the daughter at the gas station.

It is the best movie that I saw this year and I go to the movies quite a bit. I hope it gets some Oscar nominations or recognition as well.

I saw this show and thought it was cute... The other night I saw the little girl (in the movie) on Conan O'Brian.. I got a bad feeling watching her out of her "show" mode. Have a feeling that she is going to grow up spoiled and way to fast.. kinda disapointed to see her in that light..

Dakota Fanning, she isn't annoying, I think she has growen up alot, I like her, because I don't think she has the "star's attitude yet. I saw her on the View, and she conducted the interview very well. I thought
