In one word - heartwarming. If more people were like this family, the world would be a better place. Being based on a true story, there are people out there that are like that, it's not impossible, we all just need to see that. I love Sandra Bullock anyway - but she deserves an award for her role in this movie. As someone else wrote, during the movie, it wasn't really what she said, it was so many of the things she didn't say.
