Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
