Cynicism has always been my enemy. It has overcome me on many occasions in part because it's a strong and worthy opponent. In fact, there's even some good to cynicism, but on the whole it's something I try to avoid. My heart swelled last night as I watched the least cynical movie I've seen in a long time that also didn't make me cringe: Keeping up with the Steins is, in many ways, a bad title for a such a sweet-hearted film that doesn't bother much with the competition implied. It helps, for me, that Jeremy Piven stars, but he's not even the best part (although he does have some of the better lines). The everyboy hero, played perfectly by Daryl Sabara, is the best reason to see this movie. He brought me right back to 12 going on 13. I was expecting snot-nosed friends, back-stabbing, and other forms of "comedic" antics. There's none to be found and yet I still laughed out loud. Wow, who would have thought that honest writing translates well to the screen?
