The Castle is an enjoyable film. It is plain, one dimensional, and predictable, and, yes, funny. The characters can be described in the same manner. It has a couple of deeper themes like home and family, hence the title, and the average man vs. the big corporation, but all in all it was very lightweight. I think I wanted more substance but I guess that was not the intent. One thing that puzzles me is this film was rated "R". With the exception of a couple four letter words (unless I'm forgetting something) this film was very tame. Again something to think about when violence and some sexual situations can get a PG-13. If you accept The Castle for what it is, it is entertaining. Three stars!!!
