I thought this film was an excellent mix of funny and touching. My only real complaint would be the loose ends that didn't get tied. All of the actors were exquisitely well cast. All of the roles intertwine and radiate an undeniable chemistry. Annette Bening's character reminded me vaguely of her role in American Beauty, a bit controlling and uptight, but the difference is that in this film she was actually more loveable. All around one of my new favorite movies. A great film, showing an american family go through issues that are more commonplace than some may think.
