Winner winner chicken dinner!

Rating: Null/10 (9 April 2008)

Winner winner chicken dinner. An enjoyable tale even though it may have delivered too much set up and exposition. It also shifted gears way too abruptly, taxing believability. Long yet focused set upshift gears in to something uglyshift gears in to something clever. This felt like the director's version of the film with every nuance of establishing characterization left in the final cut but the reason for mood changes and compromise hammered in to fit a running time. Did anything hit the cutting room floor from the first half of the script? Since the characters were believable and likable as well as perfectly portrayed, that is not a bad thing in this case but it could have been pieced together in a crisper fashion. Still, I enjoyed this movie experience very much.
