Anyone watched it yet? It's no big budget movie, but it has a big meaning when you watch it...

I really love this movie, and with recent conflicts in my family & relative issues I feel like my own family might end up in the same fate...

We watched this movie so much in 2008. We had a vw van and had cars we had to push start now and again. Another part too brings back crazy memories but I won't spoil.

Good film. I liked Steve Carell's character most I think. Bittersweet, twist of irony, sprinkled liberally with comic moments.

I thought this film was great, very witty. There are some similarities between the films family and mine.
I believe it is the dysfunctional togetherness of the family that seems to mimic my own.
Also we once spent a summer push starting our minibus so it brings back some funny memories. :lol:

Agreed. But I think all of them did the job well.

I love this movie. I empathize most with Dwayne...or maybe Grandpa. 8)

Me too...

Especially the part he discovered he was colorblind and can't pursue his dream as a USAF pilot. :cry:

I recently took a colorblindness test for the heck of it and for one of them, I thought I was also colorblind. Well, until I found that was a sample of what colorblind people would see, so I'm OK to fly myself! 8)
