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.

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.
