The Worst Film Ever
The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
