Witty

I won't expatiate, because I'm sure it's all been said by other reviewers here. This is a palimpsest that works on all levels. It winks at us, teases us and amuses us. It is funny and clever and makes us care about the characters which is after all what sucessfull movie-making is really about (is not really a secret but it seems that so many writers/directors still haven't figured it out). As an adult you'll have the denouement figured out well before it transpires, but your kids won't and what's better than seeing their reaction?
