Took me awhile to watch this film, I loved it, feel good movie... lots of fun, liked the sense of humour, deep script with good messages.. and great cast specially Steven Martin. First time seeing a young Joaquin Phoenix, definitely became a great actor. By far my favourite from Ron Howard XD

Martin is a bit too out there in some scenes for me, but the whole cast ties it together perfectly for me.
