thiago s @Thiagostone Nov 21 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more None O 10/30/2024 It is fun…for me the family dynamic was real😀 See more 08/17/2016 Funny black comedy about a man's experiences at his father's funeral. Hilarious performances by the entire cast. See more 02/13/2010 An extremely watchable comedy. Perhaps underrated. Lively performances from the entire cast make the story engrossing. See more 07/21/2009 Completely un-funny. See more 01/03/2009 Fun ensemble movie. It's "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" for Irish Americans. See more Read all reviews
