This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
