Slow pace in the most part of the 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.
There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
