Insightful, Entertaining and Moving

I thought this was a very touching and human story. I cannot even begin to comprehend why it has received such a poor rating on this site, but my family and I loved it and I would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys decent and honest stories with very real, human characters and very insightful and at times confronting observations on life. I agree with the comment made by another user who thought that Rosie O'Donnell deserves an Oscar for her portrayal of Beth. This film made me laugh and cry! I thought it was simply wonderful and entirely endearing. Well done to everyone who created it and love to the real people behind its characters :)
