Sure it's homemade but...

I mean it seems like the kind of thing that was shot by some guys who just wanted to have fun. It very well could have been just that. I laughed my head off. The idea of an air band lip syncing to real songs is very funny. And the whole NyQuil thing, very funny. It's sort of a very low budget version of movies such as A Mighty Wind and Almost Famous. The lines are witty and overall, it is well-written. Even at the few parts that are "sad," you are laughing because of the irony and ridiculousness. If you watch this and don't like it, hey, it's only 10 minutes long so it didn't really waste any of your time. But I'm sure you'll be pleased. Just go to the site and download it. I mean, it's free.

This is the greatest show ever!

Oh my god! I just watched the season 2 finale and it took everything in me to keep from screaming and waking my family up. With each episode, I have gotten more excited with what was happening and what was coming up. Now that it's over I don't know if I can wait until the next season!! Every storyline comes together at once and then at the next minute, the whole thing explodes then goes black with the credits. Personally, this was THE biggest cliffhanger I've ever seen at the end of an episode, let alone the end of a season.

Kudos to the show for picking up Zooey Deschanel for the last couple episodes, and obviously the next season. I think she's a great actress and added a lot to the dynamic. The whole Doug-Celia-Celia's husband triangle was a fun distraction from the crap that is going down with the main plot. I only have one question made of three parts: what was the combination to the safe, how did Silas know it, and how did he even know where the house was in the first place? Brilliant! That is all.

I've never made a comment on a movie, so I didn't know if what I wrote would constitute as a spoiler. So just in case...

I saw this movie the weekend it came out. It immediately became my favorite. I'm really not even sure what to say. There are times during the movie when you think you have it figured out. I had ideas of what might happen next. But then something happens that completely throws everything off. It is not a "I figured it out halfway through" movie.

Also, there are points where you are so happy because, as a family, they think they have everything planned out. But then everything goes to pot. One thing after another, we, the audience, are brought down low with them. Once it gets you so low that you think you will cry if one more personal individual tragedy strikes, it slowly raises. By the end, you want to cry for joy because everything ends up opposite of how you thought it would be.

This really is a "redemption" film. In everyone's lives, horrible things happen and we think that nothing will be well again. But through the storm comes the sun, and it shines brighter than it would have had we not been caught in the hurricane.
