Trivia:

The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on Sept. 11, 2007. While all Paskowitz family members were scheduled to attend, four brothers were stuck in New York, as bad weather in both New York and Toronto prevented them from getting on the plane.

We loved it!

We usually don't bother to review anywhere but our own sites, but we LOVED this movie! We have already recommended it to everyone we know and watched it twice! Such a cool movie, such a cool story. It would be so cool to live this guys life, except without the millions (well 9 really, same thing!) of kids. No thanks on that. But travel around the country, barley work, stop when ever and where ever, for however long you want. FREEDOM! Too bad extreme make over didn't exist back then, I would've written in to get this family a roomier ride/home. Anyway, watch and enjoy and let us know what you think! I can't imagine anyone not liking this movie......dude :)
