I agree that it is a depiction of childhood for people who haven't been children in a long time, but I think that's just because it is such an honest depiction. Nostalgia isn't a hard feeling to manipulate in a movie, but Anderson's style is what makes it enjoyable.
Wait that's the point right? I thought the reason they were doing all these broad jokes was to point out how "normal" the show could be. I actually missed the very beginning so I was very concerned about the direction the show was going until I figured it out.
