Reviews
One of my all time favorites.
Expected more
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 really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
