The Squid and the Whale (Re-watch)

Well, this film is definitely a good example of why it's worth re-watching films.

My younger brother gave me this on DVD for my birthday many years ago, and I watched it straightaway, but really didn't get into it.

Watching it again now (after having done an MA in Creative Writing) I really, really, found this funny. The dad is just about the worst dad in the history of film. I found him amazingly funny for all the wrong reasons. He reminded me of Competitive Dad from The Fast Show (if you fancy a laugh, check that out here) and I just can't believe that people like him exist in reality. What an arsehole.

Yeah, I was definitely laughing out loud on this viewing – all of the characters are brilliant. 8/10
