Has an energy and enthusiasm that certainly works in fits and starts, but taken as a whole, it's a few explosions (and a lot of yearning) signifying very little.

A fun, yet still sometimes heartfelt film, which is both sad and satisfying at the same time.

The message gets lost in it's own bullshit.

As good as or even better than prominent blockbusters. The action is there, the humour is there, the romance is there, the message is there.
