Meh! This could have been an interesting movie if they had not overdone the schmaltzy "we are family" routine. Did not care for the whole family getting into making fun of a neighbor girl's looks, chanting "Pig-face" to piano accompaniment, and having an uproariously fun time talking about how ugly she had been. This was in particularly bad taste since they were doing it just when they were expecting her to arrive for a date with one of the brothers. Not very cool at all. If it takes this kind of puerile nastiness to bind a family together, then I'll do without the family, thanks.

Juliette Binoche was very watchable.

This is quite an excellent movie. The cast is very believable as a family. Some very good comedic moments, with a loving, but not so perfect father.

I thought this movie was disjointed and a waste of an excellent cast. There was not enough character development to get me to care about any of the characters, although Juilette Binoche was charming as usual. The best part of this movie was the soundtrack! I think I may buy it.

I really liked this. Some parts were corny, but it was a sweet movie.
