I don't know what critics have said about this movie, but as someone who grew up as a summer resident of the "Jersey Shore", there is no other movie that captures the actual feelings, interactions and mood of the area than this. Matt Mulhern slammed a home run for reality here. The neighbors on both sides of the house, and the LACK of development of their character [from a "critical" standpoint] is the brilliance of this movie. That's how much you got to know your neighbors at the shore, no matter how long you lived next to them. Alan Ruck is an outstanding actor, and has an excellent Philly accent for a Chicago native. Congratulations, Matt. It is one I shall always remember, and recommend to all my shore buddies.
