The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
