This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
