went to see it with the general populace, i really enjoyed it love JK Simmons as the father and brings a great presence to the film, Ellen Page seemed really genuine in her delivery, I got really drawn into Jason Bateman's relationship with Jennifer Garner and how deep it was from the moment they got on screen

the one-liners were great, just love that kind of natural humor "he's good in chair" was one that I unexpectedly burst outloud for

the Superstar thing reminded me of the Shins thing in Garden State, but done much better, cute touches with the Mudhoney shirt even though you couldn't see the name or the Shonen Knife poster that is very familiar or another two in the background

 


among them, and the "noise" joke really worked as diffusive element to lighten the tone of the scene they were in and how heavy it was

the soundtrack was really great, loved the use of Cat Power's rendition of "Sea of Love" especially

overall i liked it more then Little Miss Sunshine (the prerequisite comparison), maybe cause of I liked the ensemble of actors a bit better and seemed less overbearingly quirky and grounded (family trekking in van to beauty show vs teen pregnancy and adoption), overall a great viewing and worth the 6 dollar ticket
