Blown out of my seat
I went to this movie because Star Trek was sold out. For that I am thankful. This movie had me not only laughing my rear end off, it was always tense. And intense. A study of how overindulgence and infidelity can ruin a society and how it effects society's children. A very tricky subject matter to find hilarious, but the movie strikes a surgical balance between great drama and hilarious comedy. It really works as an unconventional coming of age story at its heart with two you ones falling in love which is juxtaposed against their parent's relationships falling apart. The cast is stellar with performances that are oscar worthy. The direction and writing is expertly executed. And the ending? I won't give it away, but it is bold and wholly unpredictable. I will be adding this to my dvd collection but urge anyone to see it while it is on screens as the wide angle lenses capture the weeping beauty of picturesque suburbia.
