"when it comes to family and relationship's there are no small surprises"

I bought this film in December last year and have not got around to watching it till just recently, it is a amazing such a beautiful film.


The film is about a guy "Brian"(played by pall Dano) who is working for this high end Swedish mattress store searching for his place in the world. unfulfilled by his work he spends a good portion of his day pursuing his goal of someday adopting a baby from china.  Then one day the lovely Harriet Lolly nicknamed Happy (played by Zoe Deschanel) comes in to his store and falls asleep on one of his beds, one of which her farther is buying for his bad back. Brian has to contend with her farther All Lolly (Played by John Goodman) an art-collecting loud mouth with a bad back and deep pockets in order to win her hear.
The story is about the anxiety that comes along when two poeple with crazy family's collide unexpectedly and fall for each other.

This is a story that displays all the things that is never perfect when falling in love with some one unexpectedly, which makes it perfect.  The film shows how sometimes when everything seems so complicated, confusing and lost that we can still find love, sometimes something can happen that makes it all seam just fine, and things start to fit. even if you fell like you have made a GIGANTIC mess out of everything, its never that bad!

One of my "Christmas Movies" 

Son of Rambow 

 Over Christmas I spent a few days with my family, one of the presents that my sister had was the film Son Rambow. I watched it with my two younger sisters, the best way to watch this for me as we laughed and cried together.

This is such a funny film a charming film of two young and lonely boys who together decide to film their own version of the Rambow film. In many ways this film is a coming of age movie.
Sometimes you want to laugh out loud and other times you are moved to tears.

One thing that I found so beautiful was how one of the boys in the film would carry around a book everywhere with him. It was a Bible but the book had been covered on every page with illustrations, of thoughts and things of the young boy, things which he would make sense of through drawing it and putting it on to paper.
