Such a fucking horrible overrated piece of shit. Greg Kinnear was the only good character, simply because he's a good actor, and he's shit on during the whole movie by all the other horrible characters. - @Tuesday, October 3, 2017 7:26 PM

I love when you watch a movie randomly and it turns out to be a favorite of yours, completely unexpected. There are not a lot of films I keep watching continuously year after year and this is one of them. The cast is perfect. - @Monday, February 8, 2016 12:01 AM

no special effects dudes, just acting, acting, acting, acting. PURE CINEMA. And the MUSIC....? well, still spinning in my head after 3 years. One of the greatest. Never get tired of watching, in fact, I feel the same emotions I feel when I first saw it. PERFECT. - @Monday, October 19, 2015 3:16 PM

It's one of those very few movies, especially considering it's hollywood, that could actually captivate my attention entirely, and allow me to really care and empathise with the characters which is basically the entire family. This is what movies are suppose to be, for you to just immerse yourself in the life of others, albeit a fictional one. And of course Abigail was more than excellent as Olive.You know an actor/ess has done it right when all you feel are the emotions they show. - @Thursday, June 11, 2015 8:29 PM

Amazing soundtrack, great plot, amazing acting. This movie does an incredible job of creating something that's not just interesting to watch, but also inherently realistic. It was exactly the movie that I needed to see at a certain point in my life. - @Sunday, May 3, 2015 8:13 AM
