Reviews
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
The movie's only flaw is also a virtue: It's jammed with characters, stories, warmth and laughs.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
