I found the movie to be very funny and sweet. I really only have two major complaints. When Paul is getting ready to leave Erasmus he gives a speech about how much he loves him and would cut out his own heart for him. We never see this affection prior to this scene. In fact Paul openly discusses leaving him one day, is hostile to him (not that he doesn't deserve it sometimes.) But this speech comes out of nowhere and rings hollow.
My other complaint is the old movie trope of the unsympathetic person from child protective services. I've known many people in this field and they are bleeding heart liberals. They do everything they can to keep a child in their home. The only time CPS removes a child is if the child is in danger or is being neglected. I felt Allison Pill could have played her with more compassion.
