Reviews
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.
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 movie really just wants to entertain people.
