A young girl is raised in a dysfunctional family constantly on the run from the FBI. Living in poverty, she comes of age guided by her drunkard, ingenious father who distracts her with magical stories to keep her mind off the family's dire state, and her selfish, nonconformist mother who has no intention of raising a family, along with her younger brother and sister, and her other older sister. Together, they fend for each other as they mature in an unorthodox journey that is their family life.

Reviews

lolipop_big Great acting, great story, magnificent screen play! It's the story of a lot of people with sad childhood's and their pets to triumph. Do you need walls is it GIF that author! If you want to know what bipolar is, washed his parents! It's a definite watch. Didn't functionality in the families can take generations to break, salute to Jeanette and her siblings for breaking it ...

lazlaw One the most funniest and moving films I've ever seen . Great acting and direction by all involved. A must see before you die film .

bubblemonkis I remember reading this book in high school, and to this day it's my favorite. This movie is now one of my favorites. They captured everything that needed to be said and done. I'm thrilled that I finally got to see what I imagined as a read this novel. Absolutely amazing!!

Alle Meije Wink There is no nice way to put it. The film doesn't do the book justice.The book manages to convince us that Jeanette can understand how badly her parents looked after their children and still love them. The film fails to do that, which results in a review of traumatic childhood experiences.Other reviews suggest that this is because there is too much to fit in the 2 hours of film. The problem of the film is that too much has been put in, and all the childhood stories are shown as short flashbacks. But the lack of time, and the loss of chronological ordering, make it impossible to see the strong theme in the book: that somehow the children manage to deal with their hardships and turn them into something positive. The power in the childhood stories for me was that Jeanette managed to be in control in the end, and that effect was missing in the film flashbacks for lack of time. It would have been better to select fewer stories and then fully develop them. Read the book first, without it the film does not make sense.
