3. Steve Carrell broke my heart in the first 15 minutes.
I was blown away by his ability to convey the profound pain and embarrassment of surviving a suicide attempt, most of it without ever opening his mouth.

She was in "Signs"

22. Funniest moment for me: Kinnear trying to "explain" to the highway cop
That was just over the top funny.

I also appreciated Toni Collette's work in the movie. The mom trying to pull the entire family together on the project for the little girl struck me as being so true and so heroic. I loved that most about the movie.

12. Great ensemble work.
Edited on Sun Jan-07-07 08:59 PM by CBHagman
It wouldn't have been as refreshing without the interplay among the characters. Since nobody mentioned Paul Dano (as the teenaged son, Dwayne), I will. Toni Collette (as the mother, Sheryl) did her usual great work.

18. One of the best in many years, if you ask me.
Hilarious but also very grounding.
