Reviews
This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
