It has the same 'feel' as Little Miss Sunshine (and also includes Steve Carell [Dan in Real Life] and Toni Colette [In Her Shoes]) - there's a relaxed easiness to the story.
It's a great cast - Liam James (Fred Claus) plays a 14 year old really well, stiff shoulders and all, and his dialogue throughout feels natural. Especially with the next door neighbour daughter played by Annasophia Robb (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory). And Sam Rockwell (Frost/Nixon) is hilarious while also being a sympathetic listener.
It is a coming of age story with lots of teenage angst, all of which I love. I can't wait to see it again.
