Reviews
This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
