My Opinion

I completely disagre with all professional reviews here; I thought the film was full of laughs and compelling all the way through. The characters were all fantastic, the concept interesting and enjoyable, and the way the plot climaxes was really rather touching. I think it's a solid film that you should watch sometime, and many other cinema goers seem to agree (IMDB rating, Yahoo Users rating of B+)
