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 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.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
