Good, but could have been better

The previews raised my expectations for this movie. And it was good, but not great. It was not hilarious; the funny parts were mostly all in the previews. I think the biggest problem with the movie was that there were too many plot lines for the length of the film. Raising the orphaned child is a film in itself, as is the romantic hates-him-loves-him-hates-him, then finally loves him storyline.
You never really understand any of the characters--why the male love interest didn't want to be the boss, for example, was never explained. And the ending was disappointing-- I think everyone in the theater was surprised when the credits came up. It just ended; everyone happy of course, but aside from the child not growing up, you had no idea whether this was the next day, next year, or next decade from the scene before.
I would recommend waiting for the DVD if your theater-going dollars are scarce. But it's a fun diversion if you need a film to see. |
