    Some moments of profound insight into life, bitterness, and the desire for love, but paired with the flaws of human nature that push you away from the characters.

    Diddn't think too much of this movie.

    While the storyline was intelligent and the family's problems were ones you wanted to see resolved... I didn't care for the main characters.

    Kevin Costner plays the romantic rebound and i found nothing romantic at all about drinking beer and smoking pot, even when he changed into the man she needed him to be there was just no connection there.

    I was dissapointed in that aspect but i really did love the kids, they were awesome.

    Hilarious little family disfunction flick. Costner is really good here playing a cocky ex baseball star.

    Joan Allen is rock-awesome and ending is totally boss...BUT everything preceding it kinda sucked ass. Script is full of what Binder thought was clever at the time but really isn't in practice. The daughters have one identifying trait each and nothing beyond that. Also, the three eldest all look the same age. Keri Russell is delightful but casting-wise, she should have been the eldest. The only well-written character is Terry but even then, I saw no trace of "the nicest person" Popeye spoke of. She had to have the potential to become mad and drunk. And since I haven't seen "Thirteen" yet, I'm still not convinced ERW is that great of an actress.

    Very underlooked rom-com. A great cast (except for Costner) and an amazing performance by Joan Allen.
