Viewing Notes

A fun, funny and touching coming of age story that I thought my kids would enjoy since they’re about the same age. I could only convince Gavin to watch it though.

Carell plays a smarmy jerk exceedingly well, and Toni Collette is great as is Sam Rockwell, but it’s the kids who make the movie.
