Lacking good taste!

Rating: 1/10 (6 January 2007)

This film was recommended by family -- our niece and her 14 year old son. I was shocked. Any film whose primary character is a small child should not have such a prevalence of foul language. I do have to give the actors credit. Although I found the story depressing and with very few redeeming features, the cast did a good job with what they had to work with. I suggest anyone planning to see the film not be taken in by the title which gives the impression of a lighthearted story. Even the ending -- which other reviewers seem to value so highly -- did not make the first hour and twenty minutes worth watching. I guess my sense of humor needs an overhaul because I found very little to laugh at.
