It was always my desire to catch this movie when it hit theaters, but the gods of parenthood and life-in-general wouldn’t hear of it. On a whim, it premiered on cable this past weekend. I almost jumped out of my skin when BFam - who has respectfully earned his title as The Other Half Of My Brain - DVR’d this little gem for me.

I want to also point out I was not one of those naysayers who thought Steve Carell plus serious movie role equaled disaster. I had nothing but high hopes and, let me just say, I was not disappointed. Serious? Yes. Good acting? Yes. Funny? Surprisingly, yes. And the funny didn’t come from Carell.

Never one to go into any experience of the senses half-assed, I picked up quite a penchant for the soundtrack done by this fine fellow. Take a listen, won’t you?
