"Okay" film that, at least, is very "different"

Rating: 7/10 (13 July 2012)

I guess I'm a dissenter. The movie sounded charming; I did not find it to be so. Rather, I found parts of it to include low-class humor with lots of character clichés...which is fine...just not what I was suspecting. By the time I paid for the ticket and popcorn and a soda, I felt a little cheated.
That's not to say the film is bad. It's "cute" and rather clever. Some of the various characters are quite interesting, and some of the actors do a very nice job. Others seem to walk through their parts with little inspiration.
I will give it high marks for one thing -- it's different -- and that's not something we can always say about a movie.
I neither recommend movie or suggest you stay away. Just read up on it and make sure it's what you think it is.
