yet still manages to "work."
Dysfunctional family with everyone an odd character, everyone of whom w/in a 24-hr. period has a major crisis.
This film walks the line between melodrama and drama. Actually, it weaves along, stumbling from one to the other.
Yes, you'll be entertained and feel good afterwards.
A better actor than the obiquitous Greg Kinnear would have helped a bit but not much.
I guess I'd recommend it for entertainment purposes. It is a hell of a lot better than any sitcom, for comparions' sake.

I saw the trailer yesterday and hoped it woud be as funny as you have said.
I am not the most family oriented of people (Addams' Family Values apart) but thought it looked worthwhile.
- It has some funny moments and, like all good satires, touches on - tinear 08:09:56 09/03/06 (0)
  all the popular sillinesses, i.e. abhorence of recreational drugs, worship of some physical perfection none really attain, ridiculousness of "feel good positivism," etc.
  Like I said, it is entertaining.
