TREAT YOURSELFThis is a great American road trip movie wrapped up in a perfect indie family comedy. In addition to the perfect cast, comedy that comes from character and conflict, absorbing story, etc., it’s got all these great little touches, like the way Griffin Dunne’s character is desperately hanging on to academia, or the affable cultishness of the reenactors. Enjoy!.Score: 5/5

A new classic!I saw this in the theatrical release and was blown away by the superb cast and heartwarming story that could have easily slipped into saccharine predictability but gratefully did not and instead delivered both poignant and hilarious moments with ease! This is one of those movies that I think will be a go to classic to watch again and again..Score: 5/5
