An actor's movie

Rating: 8/10 (25 December 2006)

This movie was highly enjoyable because it depends on situations and acting. It sets up some very tough situations which requires the actors to be pretty creative in the way that they portray their roles.
Each of the major characters and the bit players all play their roles as if they were the star. So there is no part of the movie that really lags behind in quality. To me this is a sign of respect for the audience, as well as a respect for the movie as a whole. There are no throwaway scenes.
Like all good comedies, there are both happy and sad elements, yet through them all, the characters make us laugh.
Go see it.
