Reviews
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
Blistering performances.
