Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
