Still can’t figure out why the critics hated this movie so much, but we really enjoyed the film. Maybe it was the slower paced sweet sentimentality of the film as it dealt with some very challenging issues. Critics hate “nice”. Given the state of affairs swirling all around us, a kind and gentle treatment of challenging issues was a nice respite in a film. The reality is that we all deal with trauma in different ways, but that there is hope for all of us. I love Chris O’Dowd and I am learning to like Melissa McCarthy, the film’s two leads. Lots of redemption here.
