We finally rented it yesterday. I'm now saying this is my favorite move EVER! We popped the DVD into the laptop to watch it in bed (because I always fall asleep during movies) but I not only stayed awake the whole time but laughed my arse off.
What I loved:
1. Steve Carrell. How can you not?
2. Greg Kinnear is *such* a good actor and can really embody any character he plays.
3. You can't look at Olive and not smile.
4. Offbeat comedies are da bomb.
5. Humor that is intelligent while at the same time a bit disturbing.
6. Most movies about dysfunctional families basically spew negative hate. This one proves that even loser families who aren't perfect still love each other.
7. Just when you decide you don't like a character, all of the sudden you do.
8. It's great when you find a movie with a concept that hasn't really ever been played out before.
9. The uncomfortable randomness of the next-to-final scene which made me laugh until I cried out of amusement, horror, and warm fuzzies all at the same time.
10. Totally, totally, and completely UNpredictable movie!
Disclaimer: Despite the gushy-mushy title, it's definitely rated R so don't include the little ones!
