Reviews
It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
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.
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
