Not a bad film, quite funny in parts, touching in others. However, it had very little to offer after seeing the trailer. Most of the plot was either obvious because it was hinted at or actually shown in the trailer. The rest of it was just plain obvious like so many movies from Hollywood. The bits that were reasonably original and unexpected alone didn't make it worthwhile paying to go to the cinema after seeing the trailer.
Still, it did have some excellent performances from a talented cast, particularly from William H. Macy (sigh) and Steve Zahn.
If you are still interested in seeing this movie, stop reading about it now, don't see the trailer, don't ask for more opinions: just go and see it and laugh a lot for an hour and a half - otherwise you might be more than a bit disappointed by the poor plot.
