Reviews
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
