A wonderful film, apparently misunderstood by critics and reviewers of most every stripe. I found it genuine and touching, well acted, written and directed. It is a small film about big dreams. Billed as a comedy, it is no more a comedy than real life, as much pathos and pantomime. Not for everyone, but my cuppa. I loved it.
