A very strange comedy with touches of sentiment, flamboyant characters and clever dialogue. Igby Goes Down didn't really leave me with a strong feeling after I flicked it off, but along the way it was very amusing. The characters are sort of cliched: the older achiever brother, the younger scamp troubled troublemaker brother, the pernicious mother who tries to force her son back on the "right track." But the actors and the acting are wonderful, so it all works out in the end.
Definitely worth checking out.
