MUST WATCH I bloody love this film (no idea about the new tv show, it looks awful). Watching as a child and now as a supposed adult i feel the same way it's silly, funny, sad, sweet with a bit of wholehearted American schmaltz thrown in, i wanted to be a part of this crazy family. The main difference in watching it now is i have more respect for and understand the adults, i used to think Dianne Wiest's character was mean but she is a superb Mum. It could be my favourite Steve Martin role. Most people my age have probably seen it and i don't know how well new generations would take to it but f*** em i love love love it.
Like This Watch These: The Princess Bride (1987) Another unforgotten 80's gem, show it to your kids before they get a phone, The Royal Tenenbaums (2001) Another family i want to be a part of, Little Miss Sunshine (2006) Each member of this family has eccentricities and they are embraced.
