In general I did enjoy this movie. Some very funny moments, but I was bothered by the underlying premise: that Dan (Steve Carell) was some sort of sad sack and an overprotective, clueless parent. His two older children are horrible to him without justification. He tries to do the right thing by his brother, and he's good at his column.
Well, at least the lovely Juliette Binoche is part of the cast, and it all ends correctly.
