Reviews
This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
Your blood may run cold, but you now find yourself pinioned to the story.
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
