If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
