How do I this film justice without explicitly explaining the nuanced hilariousness of it all? OK, so there is this underlying sadness at the children's' misfortune, this subtle pity for their future, and this unease as the "father" turns up all "cool" with his two inept mates. But then there are so many points I had to not burst out laughing really REALLY loudly - didn't help I was watching it late in bed.
There's not much sentimentality, but you're kind of wanting their to be. So when at the end its poised to potentially provide some... well, I cried more than I have for any film in very long time.
But then I was in stitches - almost instantly. Terrific juxtaposition of emotions! Totally what I look for in a film - as well as a little escapism.
