Very good family movie. It's much different from all the glitzy films out now, and in that sense it's incredibly refreshing. Some awkward moments w/ Lisa Guerrero, but everyone else does a fantastic job.

I saw this at a preview screening Thursday night. It's clearly not a Hollywood blockbuster with a huge budget, but the filmmakers do a lot with the money they have. The film had done well at family-oriented film festivals, but I I saw this at a preview screening Thursday night. It's clearly not a Hollywood blockbuster with a huge budget, but the filmmakers do a lot with the money they have. The film had done well at family-oriented film festivals, but I wasn't expecting much from a first-time director and a bunch of actors who I mostly hadn't heard of. Instead, I was quite impressed with what they accomplished. There are minor technical flaws, but normal people aren't going to notice them. If you're expecting a typical "cool" and "hip" indie flick, this isn't for you. But if you're interested in something that is (quite literally) appropriate for all age groups, you might enjoy it a lot. You might especially leave smiling about a 5-year-old who plays one of the lead characters. He's adorable enough in this that it'll surely get him work in bigger-budget films soon. Overall, I'd say this is very much worth seeing, particularly if you're interested in something family-friendly.… Expand

My nine year son loved it, but I practically had to bribe him to get him to go --- he had seen the TV spots for it and the Froggy Doo references gave him the impression it was for younger kids. I thought the acting was quite strong, particularly William Baldwin as the hard drinking father, and the kids are all super. Somehow the flow of the movie needed one last polishing to my mind, but all in all it succeeds with a rather ambitious mixture of themes. Despite some farcical elements, it is ultimately a serious and thought provoking film. I hope it will find wider distribution.… Expand
