It’s such a simple story about friendship and family but the writing and the humor is just so much fun! The all-star cast also did a great job with the characters. I laughed out loud so many times – Steve Carrell really did a hilarious job with his Hammy character!

“I like the cookie!”

It is taking me so long to slog through this book. I think I’m on about page 170 and it’s starting to pick up a little bit, but not much. I’m going to give myself a few more weeks to try and get into it, but if it doesn’t start getting better I’m going to just put it back on my shelf and admit defeat.

I think when you watch this film you need to take into consideration that this is not a typical Hollywood film. It has a “foreign film” format, which I’m not really sure how to describe, but I’ll try. Most foreign films concentrate a lot on human interaction, telling a story that doesn’t necessarily have a climax, and a subtle ending where the character has a moment of realization.

The character Stephane was sometimes frustrating to watch – it only he would get his head out of the clouds he’d be able to get what he wanted. The co-worker characters were very unique, but I think it was nice to have that contrast between them (the perverted, twisted coworkers) and Stephanie (the innocent and creative).

I liked the overall cinematography of the film – the dream sequences were especially fun to watch. I guess some people would think it was all just a strange and pointless movie, but I’m a dreamer so I liked it. There is a subtle moral to the story afterall: don’t keep your head too far up in the clouds, otherwise you may miss out on what’s happening in reality.

Vitamin Water is so awesome. I like the lemonade a-zinc one. You can find it reasonably priced at Trader Joes.
