Lots of laughs, but even more heart

Rating: 10/10 (1 February 2013)

I really enjoyed this quirky film more than I expected. I would not call it a comedy but my wife and I laughed a lot a the odd behavior of almost all the characters. More laughs from the audience than most so-called comedies. Yet, it's a very emotional story and may invoke a tear or two.
A common thread makes you think "What makes someone 'crazy' in our culture when so many things that we consider normal (like extreme football fandom or superstition) actually seem odd when you really think about it.
Great performances all around, and it was just a well- put together movie. No slow time, and the crisp 2 hours flew by. Based on the interactions I am sure that there was much more greatness on the cutting room floor, but I especially appreciate the discipline it takes to edit when so many films these days drag on. This film actually won out among other options at the theater for me today because it was shorter. Great film!
