Upon learning of the imminent arrival, Tedesco asks Smutter, his great friend, to start following her closely.
Reviews
In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
