Hilarious, honestly

I saw this in the cinema today, and I just loved it. I'll admit, at times it was a little predictable, but you will love it. Its a great family comedy with funny parts (a lot!), sad parts, and inspirational parts. And look out for the bakery scene, so funny! But don't count on that, the whole film will have you in stitches. I'm very sure I'll be buying this on DVD when it comes out.

I recommend this to anyone. I saw this with my dad, my younger brother and sister, and my grandparents, and everyone of us enjoyed it.

A directorial debut for former F.R.I.E.N.D David Schwimmer, and a fantastic one at that. You will love it, whoever you are!
