You've got to be able to relate to this movie for the best laughs. Which means you need to be at least 40+ to really appreciate it. Steve Martin is sooo funny. Wish he had a bigger role. Also, who knew Alec Baldwin had such a good sense of humor. Hard to believe he took the light away from Meryl Streep.
Sandra Bullock shines as the what you see is not what you get rich housewife who does it all. Including giving her friends what for when they underhandedly criticize her for her efforts on behalf of a boy from the wrong side of town. If this movie doesn't inspire people to be charitable, then I don't know what will.
