Boring
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
I usually don't like the average Christmas TV movie fare, but this one I managed to sit through to the end.The script, characterisation and acting was good, and I liked the ludicrous comic characters. Many comedies are just too serious.About three quarters of the way through I feel it lost its way: the whole "girl who needs a heart transplant" sub-plot is just too hackneyed and sentimental, and Jolie runs around giving no indication that she is at all ill.I didn't find the ending at all satisfying, they just seemed to want to wrap it up as soon as possible.
