This is the kind of movie I wish made all the box office money, because it so successfully brought so many kinds of talent to the screen. The script was a delight because just when you felt it falling into familiar cliché territory, you are whip-lashed into a one liner like Biaggio's "I said I don't know how to cry".... I can't give any more of that without spoiling, but it stopped me cold, it was hilarious. The script is filled with those bon mots, as well as just about every single line that came out of Nick Offerman's mouth. His part was deadly comical. The scenes of when the boys are in the woods as the house comes up are fantastic in the production and photography, especially the 'drumming' scene which was fantastic. I was familiar with Arias and Robinson from their TV work and they shine here given room to stretch, but Basso holds his own also. The best thing about the movie is how it segues between funny and sad without telegraphing, and how dark and intense it gets when it was so light hearted just a moment before. Definitely a re-playable offering.
score 10/10
