This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
