Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é ruim, o filme tenta trazer cenas de comédia entre casais, mas não consegue e falha miseravelmente, o elenco tenta ajudar mas não consegue, com tudo isso, eu não recomendo esse filme.

Definitely not a mainstream easy watch, but amazing genre bending film from start to finish. All of the cast shines, but super kudos for getting Mary Tyler Moore to work wayyyyy against type

The whole thing is too ridiculous and poorly written to work.

This movie is super underrated. It is excellent with an outstanding cast. The themes are hilarious - a must see!

Underrated comedy with the incomparable Mary Tyler Moore and Ben Stiller propelling us along with an all-star cast of wackos. You can't choose who your family is -- but you can be damn glad they gave you away.

Yeah, so I saw it finally, and seriously doubt I'll do that again. Ben Stiller is stiff as a board throughout. Leoni is a sexy stick woman. Patricia Arquette is fine but so lowkey, but we do get lots of nice b-cup cleavage. But I really could've done w/o Tyler-Moore's. I have never, ever understood the attraction of George Segal. Just another grumpy, neurotic 'What the hell are you doing? Are you crazy?' actor. Jenkins is good, but he always seems to be. Brolin isn't bad either. Seems like they wanted to make this some sort of wacky road with far-ranging types like the cornball 'honey hush-yo-mouth' southerner, the meathead trucker, the acid lab people w/ the lame performance by Glenn Fitzgerald as the uber-spoiled over-anxious gay son. But it didn't fit well together. For one, Alan Alda is NOT wacky; not for a long time now. Just not enough funny lines, scenarios, or performances. I liked it for the few laughs I got, a couple of the performances, and Arquette's breasts. We'll go with 2.8 stars

Funny and worth the watch. Especially Richard Jenkins and Josh Brolin!

90s comedy classic. Great performances.

When you are taking a trip finding your real family you're asking to flirt with disaster in one shape or another. This is director David O. Russell's earliest works. Ben Stiller, Tea Leoni, Patricia Arquette, Lily Tomlin, Mary Tyler Moore, Josh Brolin, and George Segal. Stiller as Mel with his wife, Nancy have a child together. But he doesn't feel right naming his kid until he knows who his real birth parents are. Leoni is an adoption agent Tina offering her services to track down Mel's relatives. Once they take the trip though unexpected things start to occur mixing love, infidelity, sex, and complicated family relations. Russell handles the actors with good dilemmas amongst themselves. With Stiller and Arquette as husband and wife they both come to realize their own insecurities and botherings. Part road trip part family comedy it's got the stylings of a Woody Allen picture. If you're not a big fan of the various conversations of family spackle then this isn't gonna do the trick. Thankfully David O. Russell has gotten better with each film addressing the importance of familial roots.

This was a movie that just got too ridiculous. I tried rating before and there was an error. Saw on HBO.

Solid premise, brilliant casting, yet the first 2/3 of the film is a snore, embarrassingly so. Then, hallelujah, Alan Alda and Lily Tomlin show the amateurs how it's done. This is especially easy for them, of course, when all the funniest writing intersects with their entrance. Tea Leoni is a delight and always amusing, but the script fails to do her justice.

This was a good little situation comedy on wheels. It was creative and interesting. There were times where it bogged down a little, but overall I think its an underrated gem.

Alan Alda is the best actor of the group. He steals the show.

This is one of my favorite comedies. And what a great cast!

I couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed by this film after loving Russell's feature debut Spanking the Monkey (1994). It wasn't that this film didn't have it's charms, Mary Tyler Moore chief among them, but it lacked the darkness and realism that made that film so funny and alternately disturbing. It was funny to see an early Ben Stiller, post Reality Bites (1994) but pre Zoolander (2001), and his two leading ladies are now major dramatic actresses. It was a pleasant 92 minutes that entertained the whole family without being too tame in the humor that it used and I enjoy almost anything that Russell has directed, excluding Accidental Love (2015). Mel Coplin, Ben Stiller, is the adopted son of Ed, George Segal, and Pearl, Mary Tyler Moore. He is married to Nancy, Patricia Arquette, and they have recently had a child together but he feels unsure about naming his child due to his identity issues relating to being adopted. He decides to make a cross country road trip in order to track down his biological parents and they are joined by the attractive adoption agency employee Tina, Tea Leoni, who intends to make a documentary about Mel's experiences. They quickly discover that the people they had assumed were Mel's real parents are not and they are sent off on a comedy of errors as they encounter several strange figures along the way. The funniest scene in the movie comes towards the end as a massive car chase occurs in which both Mel's real parents and his adoptive parents crash their car due to a combination of absurd circumstances. The other stand out scenes in the film include one in which Josh Brolin's bi-sexual ATF agent licks Arquette's armpit and the confrontation of Stiller with two attractive blondes who may just be his sisters. The film manages to do absurdist comedy better than several other films from this area because it builds characters that seem broad on the surface but fleshes them out and takes the jokes based around their one or two personality traits in unexpected directions. The movie is also surprisingly sweet as we do get emotional moments in which Mel's adoptive parents lament the fact that he does not see them as being his real parents. Watching Moore and Segal play a couple was always going to have a certain novelty to it, Mary Richards meets Steve Blackburn, but the two actors don't just sit back and let their icon status do all the work. Moore has some great emotional moments as the welling up in her eyes and her delivery of fairly standard â~sad mother' dialogue is top notch. Tomlin and Alda appear to be having great fun playing the kooky parents and the sight of them laughing it up is joyous. It is the sight of these comedic legends crashing into one another that is so exciting. I would have liked the film to be a bit funnier in some parts as even for a slight film there are very few gags or legitimate laugh out loud moments but I suppose that was not the tone that Russell was going for. The arguments between Mel and Nancy never had the bite or humor to them that say Walter Brennan and Hildy Johnson did in His Girl Friday (1940). I'm not expecting classic film dialogue, I really don't like Bringing up Baby (1938), I just wanted something that felt more light and effervescent than this film was clearly trying to go for tonally. Is it so wrong to want more laughs in your comedies? This is a solid little comedy that is fairly overlooked especially when considering comedies that aren't particularly funny like Stripes (1981) and Old School (2003) are touted constantly as being extremely funny. I found this to be a very watchable film with occasional moments of touching melodrama and a few scene that really pull the laughter out of you. This is also the best I have ever seen Brolin as he displays comedic abilities that I had never noticed in him before and he and Arquette make their scenes wonderfully awkward. I would recommend you watch this film just don't set your expectations too high.

The best comedy movie ever made!

David O. Russell has a great knack for finding the funny in unusual places. The same premise in other hands would have likely been given a straight drama treatment, with predictably boring results.

The movie started out kind of simple and straight forward then suddenly became this hilarious ride that included interesting characters full of personality and flaws. We get to see as the movie progresses how flawed and human all the characters are. The movie was hilarious. A great bunch of talented actors including Lily Tomlin and Richard Jenkins Alan Alda. Very quirky and funny.

Fun messy banter, but not much of anything else.

A classic awkward comedy starring Ben Stiller as a father on a quest to find his biological parents with the help of an incompetent case worker, 2 gay BTA workers and his wife. It had some really hilarious moments and the cast were all great at playing their characters. I like the amateur look of the film that made it all the more realistic to put yourself in their shoes.
