This is by far the funniest comedy of the year. There were kids in the theatre and it was non-stop laughs from them. I can't recommends this film enough, definitely seeing it again this weekend.

As much as I enjoy the extra whimsy in Tim Burton's remake of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,that "Daddy wasn't there" deal was stuffed into the plot as well. Why can't these filmmakers leave the "Cat's in the cradle" riffs on their psychiatrist's couch and keep it out of movies that don't require it for any artistic or entertainment purposes?
