There are a few reasons that made this a movie worth seeing. There were real true character interactions. People acted, for the most part, the way they would in real life. I loved that Topher's character, Carter, had a background. Not so much that would make him boring, but enough to know where he came from. He had depth. I felt like he could be any of my guy friends in a few years struggling to cope with their career choices. Dennis Quaid, or Dan, was likable and easy to relate to as well. He could be any of my friend's fathers, dealing with the business world and the idea of being easily replaced. Scarlett, Alex in the movie, as said before of the other characters, could be me pursuing an education.
There was nothing remarkable about this movie, other than the guy didn't end up with the girl, but the man did get his job back. So in conclusion I'd say that it was cute because of the cast--they're lovable. The story, however, was less than riveting. I mean, what was the point of telling the middle-upper class' story? Nobody really cares. I guess I had expected to see the typical romantic comedy/drama, and was happy with that idea. I ended up with a realistic portrayal of a family's life along with a look into the business world.
With this said, I think I should try to change my initial vote of a seven and change it to a 6. Not so great.
