Brilliant and touching

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Great movie until near end when needlessly shows a full grown adult lip-kissing a 3 year old child.

Nothing is more important than the love that brothers share for each other, right? But when it comes to facing the truth, we learn from this movie that it is hard to hide it and to tell it, also. Whatever the result, one has to take it all and experience from mistakes. That's what we are dealing with right here. We have the "uncle", who's the dumb troublemaker and the sister, who's the victim and who has to play along two man, the brother and the husband. Unfortunately, unpredictable events happen and life seems almost ruined for the couple, but the brother has the knowledge from previous situations and knows to do the right thing. For a lovely story, we have a happy ending and a happy family. Well, that's it. I ain't got anything else to say :).

Honestly, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this movie! The characters were lovable, and the plot line was close to nil (as in, close to no drama for the sake of drama, WHOO!) Hudson was a hilarious second character, and I enjoyed his devoted support to Jake; hooray for buddies! I will admit that I wasn't as invested in the beginning, but the steady, almost melancholy beat kept me. There was a fine line that they had to walk with one of the plot points, but they handled it well by appealing to our desire to see the good in people. The last, almost epilogue-like leg sort of confused me because it was a bit of an abrupt shift. I must applaud the casting of Teddy because he seemed very natural, although I did catch him looking at the camera once or twice. All in all, it was a movie about family coming and going, and I think that they did it well.

This movie can be pretty misleading , if you have read the plot and visited the IMDb page before watching the movie you might think its really a comedy , I mean , Just take a look at the cast : Nick Kroll , Joel McHale , Jane Krakowski etc. The truth is that the movie has more solid drama elements that comedy ones , Sure i had a couple of laughs here and there but i would not even include the comedy in the description . Don't get me wrong , the movie is pretty good , the acting and the plot are very well made . In conclusion , I would recommend this movie to watch with the wife or girlfriend , It has a heart warming touch to it somehow.
