| User ReviewPrivate UFantastic! Honestly didn't know if I would like it, this movie showed a true family dealing with their demons and their mother's illness. Besides being utterly sad at time, it also had me falling off my seat laughing. The characters show you a truly believable family! Great acting on all parts! This is a must-see! |
| User ReviewJames HA little too offbeat for my taste, but I still found it to be an enjoyable film with terrific performances. Jeanie Drynan is particularly good. Nicely written. The cast worked well together and really seemed like a family, very well cast. |
