I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
