Although I'm not familiar with any of the makers of the movie, I must say it was an amazing experience. Playing to a packed house I was very lucky to pick up the last tickets. It was just what I love about a great night out and it even exceeded my already high expectations.
What I especially loved what the writing: Interesting plot twists abound plus the unconventional format of a road movie. And so funny to use all those different, wonderful KFC locations. Character development and bonding was also very nicely paid attention to like any great family drama.
That these great actors weren't nominated for an Oscar is beyond me (ok, Walken had its flaws but you can expect that from him). Even the lovely score we were still singing on our way home. Great editing also, very interesting to leave some key passages out of the story: it rendered a totally new perspective.
The only minor complaint I have was the mentioning of drug addiction and child abuse: the movie could very well do without. And our grandmother fell asleep, but that's not a bad sign per se.
