OK for four English pounds and ninety nine pence you can own a fantastically well observed comedy drama. Not convinced?
Well allow me to retort.
This has very strong characters which are all tragic but comedic. As soon as you start on the journey with this family and as crazy as the ride gets you are there with them.
I bought this film on a whim because I had read reviews and seen the trailer and thought it might be worth the watch.
It was.
You are watching a dysfunctional family that was so segmented come back to together becuase of a beauty pagent for little girls (which I may add is horrifyingly real in America).
Very funny, very witty and very touching. I felt really good after watching this film and that can not be a bad thing.
Another great role for Steve Carell, in a film with a very sharp script. Fortunately this debut feature from a couple of pop video directors keeps the tone and focus, and doesn't resort to a barrage of flashy editing tricks.
this film is brilliant. it is not your convensional comedy because you do not have the obvious jokes so you have to listen carefully and you will see how funny this film really is. very whitty brilliantly scripted and a fantastic buy for £5!!
This is without doubt one of the few great films of the last couple of years. The character study alone is mesmerising. Add to that the interaction between the disparate and desperate family, plus the sordid business of pre-teen queen competitions and you have a great commentary on a number of levels. Steve Carrell is frankly superb as the uncle.
This is a fantastic film that can be enjoyed by everyone. When I bought it, I admit that it was only for the price, I thought it was going to be terrible but it easily became one of my favourite films of the year. There's a bleak humour throughout the film; you shouldn't laugh at some things but just can't help it. Wide ranges of emotions are tackled, making it appeal to a huge selection of viewers. It's funny, fascinating and captivating. I recommend this film heartily.
