Really Surprised!
This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
