Lovely Film.

I think this movie is very good for kids 10 and up. As for the sexual innuendos, there is nothing these kids have not seen already. In particular, the movie shows that parents have their own problems and that life does not always revolve around the kids. This is why adult movies can sometimes be good for kids to watch with a parent. Movies designed for younger kids usually revolve around kids thus giving them a distorted view of adults.

If you want to get in a lot of laughs without having to squirm because of the vulgarity or crudeness, then this film is for you!!! This is a lovely older teen / adult comedy that is full of terrific laughs and lots of real emotion. You will burst out laughing and cry, all in the same film. It's not a chic flick. Go see this movie!

As a native New Englander and fan of Steve Carell (who's also a New Englander, BTW), I thoroughly enjoyed seeing Steve against the backdrop of New England scenery and interiors. (They got those right: we native New Englanders are a practical, non-ostentatious lot, even when we have money.) Some of the movie made me laugh; some of it made me cry. But, disappointingly, most of it made me roll my eyes. Contrary to its title, the film is a far-fetched fantasy about a middle-aged widower meeting a soul mate at his family reunion. In at least my real life, most 40-something fathers of 3 are not treated like children by their 60-something parents. Most children aren't wiser than their parents, nor do they instantly bond with a stranger at a family reunion. Most husbands don't happily help their wives make dinner and do the laundry (sorry, it's true). Most extended families don't put on a talent show, have a crossword puzzle solving contest, do aerobics together in the yard, and travel in a large pack to the bowling alley to find a family member--at least not all in one weekend! ;) And, sadly, most people don't meet their soul mates while running out for the morning papers--and then immediately pour our their hearts to them over breakfast. We may all want these things to be true, but they're not. So, if you're looking for an escape from reality--look no further--but don't expect to come away from this movie with any profound insights about the real human condition.

Finally a comedy that lived up to my expectations. I almost split my seams laughing so hard! My girlfriend and I went to a Sunday matinee and really enjoyed it. Yes, some parts are typical "Hollywood" scenes, but Steve Carrell is so funny and in times like ours, who doesn't need a good laugh?

Maybe it was the great reviews I saw that built me up...at any rate, my wife and I were both disappointed. The movie, while it had a few good scenes, generally seemed contrived, predictable, and "good grief, they're not really doing that/saying that, are they?" eye-rolling scenes. I'm surprised the "heroine" wasn't an astronaut in addition to all her other attributes. Can't they EVER make a (relatively) clean movie that's actually good?

This anfilm made me smile and laugh. A human story portrayed quite nicely by the whole cast. I felt like I was living life with them and I was at my family reunion. Thank you for that warm feeling. I will recommend this film to all I meet.

Good for ages 10+ -i love dogs

i hated this movie!!!!!!!!! the family is rude and in each other's face all the time, and there was nothing funny or unique about it! nothing innapropriate; just a bad movie!

very cute and heartwarming. dan is the ideal dad in the movie, even if his daughters don't always realize it. very safe, and a good movie to watch for bonding time between parents and children.

Very funny, but gets a little wierd. Still it's totally worth watching!

This movie is one of absolute favorites. Its a great story of a dad who has to raise 3 girls on his own. There are sad parts, funny parts, serious parts.Some parts were so funny they had me in tears and other parts were so sad it made you laugh Overall this movie is fantastic. The producer was able to pull of a fantastic movie without an excess of swearing( 2 words), sex ( there wasn't any). I recommend this movie to all you enjoy a good laugh every now and then:) It'll cheer ya up trust me :)

The review said the f bomb was used once. I did not hear it used. if it was it was whispered under someone's breath. And I didn't hear the d word either. Usually i flinch when I hear bad language. Sorry I'm a prude. But I think it could have been rated PG. Take out the 2 words I didn't hear and Marie's bare back (OMG how awful, kids see worse on ABC Family) and this movie could be a solid PG. Loved it anyway. Big 8 Simple Rules fan so i liked this too.

I went to see this movie with my bf for our first date... i teared up a little but could not stop laughing... my bf and i were talking about it afterwards and we bot thougt it could have been funnier but i was glad it wasn't... i reated it iffy on the ex part because of the shower thing... the thing i liked most about this movie ws that lots of dads around the world would things dan(steve carrel) did in this movie so it was easy to relate to... I loved it mainly just because my bf and i are still dating after 10 months which means something clicked on that first date...

pretty good.

It is a good movie but in some parts i wanted to snore!

Steve Carrel played a real life dad in this family comedy. The story was about a man who falls in love with his brothers sister. I found this movie could have been a little more funny. Not saying it wasn't funny. Anyone would enjoy this film, i certainly did.

I thought that this movie was not very good. It is based on a sad subject and is about a depressed dad. There really wasn't anything bad it was just boring. ok for kids 12+

SO i went to see this movie with my two closest friends and it was great. It was a little sad becuase they explain that their mother died and they all tear up. It was a great romance and I wish that I could've taken my boyfirned. A lot of the things that Dan(steve Carrel) did are things my dad would do. ( my dad is married to my mom and my mom is still alive) but i mean he would definetly spy on me in the coffee shop until my beau kissed me, embarres me, not let me drive, send my beau home from a trip that he snuck up to, and a lot of the material if very funny. I definetly reccomd this movie. I want to go see it again and then buy it. Hope this review helped.

This movie is very good.

This movie was incredibly akward, but it was a funny awkward. It was not the movie to see with a girlfriend, but to see with a friend from school. DEFINATLY!!!

A great romantic comedy for the whole family. I'd give it five stars!

I saw this with some friends and we were laughing a majority of the movie. It's just funny. Probably the best "feel-good" movie since Little Miss Sunshine. I also don't understand why it was PG-13. I never heard anybody say "f--k".

A pleasant, entertaining, funny, all-around likeable romantic comedy. It's not fantastic, but Steve Carrell and a clever sense of humor make it worth seeing once or twice.
