I'm not sure why I've not seen this before, I love every movie Alexander Payne has made, but I always seem to put it off. Well, shame on me, as this is a phenomenal movie. Great acting, writing, cinematography, all of it, comes together in a superb comedy. Every character is so well played, and so well written.
Smartly written satire that doesn't rest on a single premise or joke but rather keeps the plot twisting in a fun-filled hour and three quarters. Kudos to the casting director. Reese Witherspoon and Matthew Broderick are terrific in their respective roles.
