Equally funny and heartwarming!

Rating: 10/10 (3 December 2011)

Sometimes movies that portray illness and hardship can come across as a bit cynical. Like the producers and director are carefully manipulating you to cry in certain scenes. And they can get a little sentimental and sobby. This movie didn't feel like that at all. All the emotions you get while watching this film, happiness, laughter, anger, sadness, and so forth, comes to you naturally, as you become engrossed in the story and grow more and more sympathetic of the characters. There's also a lot of comedy in the movie, many of the scenes were both funny and sad at the same time.
My gf would normally never spend money to see a drama/comedy movie in the cinema, as she feels the big screen and sound system needs some explosions or giant robots to justify their existence, but she absolutely loved this.
This movie was fantastic, highly recommended!
