Review:

Tim: I am not sure why, but I really, really like this movie. I found it funny, occasionally heartwarming, and very enjoyable. There is something about Ed O'Neill playing this character, a genuinely good guy who can be a bit rough around the edges. He is excellent in the role. Ethan Embry also gives an inspired performance as a terribly spoiled, bratty boy. These two men interact extremely well together, and account for some incredible laughs.

What I like about this movie is that it is just a straightforward, simple story about two people trying to connect. Sure, it also brings in some commentary on class division, but at its heart, it is just a beautiful and hilarious story about family, being a man, and growing up. I am a big fan of this movie.
