Wow! Such a good movie.
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
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 film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
