MCT:May 16, 2008this movie is awesome. one of the truest depictions of the american family that i've ever seen. a dysfunctional family that manage to pull together for the frumpy little girl that doesn't stand a chance against the "pretty people" and realize that they really do care for each other. this movie is great.

MCT:May 17, 2008Seeing as I'm unsure whether this film is good or not, I'm going to go through the synopsis (courtesy of LoveFilm) to see if it delivers on its promises. Apparently the film is 'brazenly satirical and yet deeply human American road comedy'. No it isn't. I guess the satire is mostly aimed at dolling up children to gratify adults, but us Brits have been dealing with that issue since Channel 4 provided wank fodder for paedophiles in the 1980's with Minipops. Shots at the police and the hospital system are quite flat too. The human bit is also stretching it - it's hard to identify with a suicidal gay genius, a colour-blind teenager on a nine-month vow of silence, a pushy father with a nine-step plan and a heroin-snorting grandfather. The synopsis goes on to talk about 'comic mayhem... in death, transformation and a moving look... of being losers in a winning-crazed culture'. As far as the comedy goes, the grandfather is funny and Olive's dance routine at the end is hilarious - the rest of the humour is non-existent. The death is shit on due to a cringeworthy scene where, logically, they have to put the grandfather's dead body into their van because not one person could stay at the hospital to fill out the forms. As far as the transformation goes: everyone realises that family is important above everything else, the type of character development that is in every sitcom episode ever. I do give them credit with the moving part though - only because you're physically unable to not give a shit about Olive. Scenes like at the restaurant and when she's talking to Miss California about ice cream make you feel genuinely angry or happy. In the end, I do like this film - the direction is nice and clean and the narrative is nicely rounded (in an ironic 'there is no solution' kind of way).However this film is overrated. This film has nothing special about it whatsoever that warrants the extremely high praise it's gotten (90% on Rotten Tomatoes I believe). I wonder if the whole 'indie' tag has anything to do with that. If that's the case, I'm going to severely hate Juno.

I was pleasantly surprised in the theatre with this one. The family itself is so typically atypical. Excellent performances from all the actors/actresses involved.

A good film with quite an interesting storyline. The boy annoyed me, however, and Steve Carell seemed subdued. The story took a while to get going (a bit like their car!) but once it did, it made for quite a good film.

I found this film laying in my sister's room and decided to pop it in... now I can see why this won Indie...
didn't have me rolling on the floor laughing or anything but the whole story is so touching and makes me think of back when I was a young adolecent. normally i would've given this like 4 maybe even 3-1/2 *s but the soundtrack was so good that I decided to download it and boost my rating. I could watch this movie back to back in the same day probably.
