The film spends the first hour weaving a tale and presenting us with flawed but likeable characters. Then of course the "twist" comes in at about an hour (typical for all films). At this point the film which had me hooked, loses me. It was a twist I felt coming, but couldn't believe how poorly it was done as compared to the rest of the film. The characters were too out of character.
The feature had some feel good moments, but didn't excel as a comedy. May work as a date night rental.
Guide: F-bomb. No sex or nudity.
