Home Movies--a sweet, off-kilter comedy about neurotic eight-year-old film buffs, their dysfunctional families and their alcoholic soccer coach--relies heavily on improvisation to create true-to-life dialogue; executive producer Loren Bouchard recalls how voice actress Melissa Bardin Galsky came up with an off-the-cuff line about how her character's pencil eraser smelled like strawberries.
