This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
