This movie tells the story behind the first reality TV series. The filmmakers did a phenomenal job of casting as you see real-life footage of the Loud family in the movie to show you how close the actors come to being the real family. Tim Robbins and Diane Lane capture their roles so well that you don't even think about them being actors playing these parts. The film itself gives the viewer the chance to put oneself in place of the Loud family. What would we do if we were the Louds and how would we act in their situation? Overall, the movie is a good, solid drama that I'm glad I didn't pass over.
