Got Something in my Eyes...

Rating: 8/10 (20 January 2014)

At my local cinema, there was obviously something wrong with the heating system. Right near the end of the movie, those dastardly ducts blew something into my eyes, dust or sand or something similar. Made my eyes well up ever so slightly. That's the only logical explanation, as I'm no sucker for maudlin moments.
This movie was quite the unexpected treat. Never played for all-out laughs, it still had a pleasant comedic undertone. The acting was spot-on. Bill Nighy was an absolute delight, as always.
The movie was never preachy, but it still felt like I learned something from it, i.e. the need to appreciate life. It even made my beloved wife forget all about my many and various shortcomings, which is no small task.
