Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
abufahad-28271 Anna Kendrick and Margo martindale were the stars of the movie... otherwise below average movie with nothing new to see in the movie
kz917-1 Directed by and starring John Krasinski this family comedy with a few tears hits all the right marks.From family fisticuffs in the hospital room to indulging mom's sweet tooth for dipping pretzels into ice cream for breakfast - this family has got a lot of heart.The family rallies when Sally Hollar begins having seizures and needs brain surgery. What follows is a family coming back together and smoothing out misunderstandings. There are zany madcap moments that will make you laugh and cry. Worth a view.
angelikafauve This movie has good acting first of all, a story that can happen to all humans, is 'nt boring at all - in spite of the sad theme of mother's illness. I was watching it with enough interest then came the scene where ill mother escapes with her son to have a dinner outside at a restaurant, celebrating with a dinner, before next day's operation. She is oh my God! with no scarf, or hat on her totally razed head, ready for the next day's operation! I'm sure, such an idea could never occur to anybody! On the other hand, the end with the sad final scene, seems real, brings in mind, the well known saying, operation succeeded, patient died! For that, I think, this movie doesn't reserve more, cause of bizarre writing details. We see comforting son, saying that is tired, or has enough, from his relationship and afterwards, admitting that he loves and wants to be together! Anyway, the dialogues are good enough but somewhere control over reality is getting lost.
valkylie2604 Don't be fooled by the categorisation of the film on the In Flight Entertainment channel. It's not just a comedy as advertised but a honest, tear jerking yet funny and thought provoking film. The honesty of the movie has me examined my relationship with my own parents - have I spend enough time with them? care about them as much I should? The love and marriage the older Hollars have is something we should all want and work towards to. The actors did a phenomenal job portraying their characters - bringing them to life, making my heart wrench with what is happening to them and having me invested all 90 minutes to find out how the story pans out in the end.Highly recommend watching this if you're tired of watching all the big money Hollywood films and is looking for something refreshing to watch.
