Happy, Texas

...the movie belongs to the increasingly wonderful Steve Zahn, whose pitiful attempts to deal with a bunch of kids provide the film's strongest and most watchable moments.

Zahn's performance is especially funny; he's rough-hewn, unsophisticated and not very bright...

Few films this year have provided as many genuine laugh-out-loud, choke-on-your-popcorn moments. Go see it - make yourself happy.

First-time director Mark Illsley and his cowriters cooked up a wonderful premise that delivers solid laughs and has a heart as big as the state in which this farce unfolds.

...this chicken-fried comedy makes a pretty decent snack.
