expectation be somewhat high for me when i go to see this movie and after all i think steve carell could do no wrong come off of great movie like anchorman and the 40 year old virgin and and little miss sunshine . boy and be i wrong . i will start with what be right with this movie represent at certain point steve carell be allow to be steve carell . there be a handful of moment in the film that make me laugh and and it due almost entirely to him be give the wiggle room to do his thing . he an undoubtedly talented individual and and it a shame that he sign on to what turn out to be and in my opinion and a total train wreck . with that out of the way and i will discuss what go horrifyingly wrong . the film begin with dan burn and a widower with three girl who be be consider for a nationally syndicate advice column . he prepare his girl for a family reunion and where his extended relative gather for some time with each other . the family be high atop the list of thing that make this an awful movie . no family behave like this . it almost a if they have be transport from pleasantville or leave it to beaver . they be a caricature of what we think a family be when be 7. it reach the point where they become obnoxious and simply frustrate . touch football and crossword puzzle competition and family bowling and and talent show be not how actual people behave . it almost sicken . another big flaw be the woman carell be suppose to be fall for . observe her in her first scene with steve carell be like watch a stroke victim try to be rehabilitate . what i imagine be suppose to be unique and original in this woman come off a mildly retard . it make me think that this movie be take place on another planet . i leave the theater wonder what i just saw . after think further and i do not think it be much .
