...everyone is as sure as Oprah is about the timing. For her fans, and the stations who carry her talk-fest - and certainly for book authors whose work she championed - the final air date of Sept. 9, 2011 is all too soon. But given what Oprah wants to do next, it might be too late.

The extent to which the real-life family resembles their cinematic counterparts is shocking, from the affection of their interactions to their individual fashion sensibilities. We are reminded with these final scenes how closely the film follows its real-life foundation, and how dedicated it remains to its mission: to let the events speak for themselves and relish the humorous moments along...
