My Comment:
Michael Arndt was brilliant. He succeeded create a serious situation into a weird situation that made us laugh. That's the unique thing of this movie. It's quite a long journey for the Hoovers, and the beauty pageant meant a lot for them to turn back into a normal family. all of the artists acted great. Brilliant. this movie was one of IMDb's top 250.
