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.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
