One of the funniest movies Ive ever seen. It gives me hope for my own family situations. Funny, heartwarming, crazy, just what we need to see to give us a laugh, Diane Keaton was excellent in this movie, everyone else was just a pure delight to watch. I would encourage everyone to watch this movie. The writers and casting crew are brilliant.

I thought Diane Keaton played her neaurotic character (again) very well. She was endearing and you couldn't help but root for her. Dax Shepard was a surprise, in a less than slap-stick comedic role I really enjoyed him. Overall, I give this movie a thumbs-up and screw the critics, normal people don't always want to walk away from a movie with red eyes and a runny nose, or wishing we were in or out of love. I think the story plot was original and refreshing. Everyone should see it whenever they think their family has issues. You can either relate or count your blessings.
