I had no expectation before watching this movie, and i'm very glad that i did. there weren't a moment where i didn't have a smile on my face. Mark Ruffalo was very remarkable. this is probably his best acting i have ever seen. the kids in the movie were also incredible. they reminded me of my little sisters. Although i felt that the movie was a little short, that's probably why i also thought this was a brilliant piece. In conclusion, it's a very good family entertainer but i would suggest you to watch it once before anyone watch it with their family with young kids. Thank you for such a wonderful movie. i'd never regret if i watch it again. Please do give us more quality movies like this.

Very thin story, bad acting. Although I thought this movie will be a great drama, it was disappointing with lack of emotion. I think this movie could have been far better and tear jerking with better actors and more effort.

If you love Mark Ruffalo--as I do--this is a must watch film. Everything is excellent: the story, script, casting, locations, costumes.... It is a rare find. I am a parent; I have friends and acquaintances with bipolar disorder. This film tackles those topics effectively and rings true on both fronts. The film is set in the late 1970s and touches on a variety of delicate subject matters for that era: class, wealth and poverty; mental disorders; biracial relationships; education and career opportunities for girls and women. And subjects matters that are still contentious today: disparity in public school districts; career opportunities for working mothers; effective parenting. Overall, this film is fascinating and I highly recommend it.

These are the sacrifices I love to see when it comes to our children. Easy comedy too. I love the harmony of this family and how life could be meaningfully smooth if people just live it.

I watched this while in-patient in a behavioral health institution. It focused mostly on the mania which I appreciated because that side of the mood disorder is misconstrued in the few films about mental illness and the inside world of psychiatric facilities. There are some accuracies but more inaccuracies. Mark Ruffallow was brilliant. Manic-Depression is difficult to diagnose due to the erratic changes in moods. Today's way of diagnosis is often based on little information. Assessments that do not have enough questions or specifics to conclude. I started showing symptoms around age 13, at first seeing a therapist for depression. It is much more difficult to be certain as a teenager, considering the already erratic moods many experience. It was hard to watch at parts because I realised that what I was seeing was a lot like how I am seen. It was almost too relatable. The overall story is heart wrenching, funny, unsettling and triumphant. A worth watching movie.

A remarkable story of a father proving how his love for his daughters saved his life and his daughters too.. It brought him out of his depression and gave his life true meaning. The chemistry between Mark and Zoe is amazing. The daughters have acted exceptionally well too. Its the unique journey of a family who tries surviving in this competitive world against the normal social norms where the mother is the bread earner of the family. Its funny, emotional and real in great many ways. The way the father daughter-bond is expressed and oh so naturally is quite emotional and at the same time exciting to watch. Cam with his brilliant opinions and and thought and day to day unique activities keeps us eager to watch what happens next. This has to be one of the best Mark Ruffalo's performances and the director Maya Forbes has done a great job. Truly a must watch movie.

Great cast, started off a bit slow but the script kicked in, Mark Ruffalo and Zoe Saldana and the two daughters really pulled off a great drama. It's based in the late seventies when people were a lot more liberal. The father (Mark Ruffalo) suffers from depression but the wife (Zoe Saldana) tries to put up with him because his a good person. The only put off for me was the amount of smoking going on, but to be fair this was kind of how it was back then. Even though it's a serious drama there are some really funny laugh out moments which help ease the tension somewhat. There are some social issues that are highlighted in the movie such as poverty, stay at home fathers, psychological problems like depression, and skin colour which the film does a excellent job highlighting. I enjoyed it and highly recommend.
