Drew is perfect in this part. This part plays to her personality, I think. I have never seen Timothy or Liv in anything else, but they are spot on for their roles. Timothy is the perfect Dad losing his mind while trying to keep everything from spiraling out of control, while Liv's facial expressions are side-splitting. Skyler plays off Liv as a great side-kick, genuine nerd without being so backward as to be painful to watch. All four of these actors say more with their faces than they do with their lines, and that is what makes it fun to watch.

Are the parts stereotypical? Yup, but that is what makes this show work - it doesn't get bogged down in trying to develop the roles all at once. The characters play roles that we see around us every day - no explanation needed. So that is why my Realtor is so energetic. Hmmmmmm . . .

I have had few shows that left me wanting more than this one.

This movie has everything you would want in a great movie: spot on actor selections, great plot, excellent locations, funny narration and dialog. But, it winds up being just a so-so movie. It is a movie that found me reaching for the remote to fast-forward more than once due to it's tendency to drag along in places, only to leap to another situation. It is a movie that you WANT to cheer for, but can't. You WANT it to succeed, but it doesn't. Excitement builds at the end, with fairly good pacing, but it is almost too little, too late. Given the abilities of actors involved and the really funny plot, I feel that a different director would be able to tie this up into a neat package that would be on my list of movies to wear-out watching.
