I saw this movie at the Tribeca Film Festival last week.
It would take me a very long time to name everything that is great in this movie. Honestly, every aspect of it is done with intelligence, care and humor. It is without a doubt one of the better films that is going to be released in 2007.
You will not see a movie that is casted better. The performances are pitch perfect, and there is not a moment that feels false. All the actors, from the ones with just a few scenes to the leads, are fantastic. The script is excellent, moving from the hilarious to the serious with the kind of humanity that makes it all fit together. The director performs a brilliant, restrained job of bringing this movie together in a way that makes himself invisible. Seamless.
I think that this film will appeal to everyone from age 12 and up. Grandparents, parents, kids... everyone will get it. The themes and characters are that human, and the humor is real and personal.
See it.
See it.
There are so very few movies that are this good, and this will probably be a small release. It deserves to be seen by all.
See it twice.
