Well, that was just what I needed.














The last three movies I've seen were:

Superman Returns

Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
and
Miami Vice

To say that I was in dire need of an indie-film is an understatement. Well, I got what I needed last night. Mmm, did I ever! What a delight.

- A failed motivational speaker of a dad
- A tired chain-smoking mother who's trying to keep the family together
- A heroin snorting, porn-loving grandfather
- An anti-social, Nietzsche-loving teenage son
- A suicidal number-one-Proust-scholar uncle
all held together by a slightly awkward pageant loving daughter and a VW van that needs to be parked on a hill in order to operate.

Ahh.

I'd go see it again in a second.

Thanks for the tip! Sounds great.
I will watch out for it and go and see it.
Pirates of the Carribean was a tad disappointing, I found!

I loved it too! And we just saw it last night too. I can't wait to watch it again. What an entertaining movie.

Had a look and can't find this film anywhere! Maybe we in the UK are just miles behind you in Canada but can you help me locate this film?

Yeah, my most recent films are not unlike yours, so I feel the same way. We're trying to get a sitter one of these evenings so we can go see it.
