- A sitcom masquerading as a movie, and abandoning a character study of two misfits for mawkish sentimentality.

  No happy ending
  
  An extremely emotional film in the mold of Love Story or Kramer verses Kramer. Some amusing moments too. A truly excellent film if you like this genre.

  Not for me!
  
  Couldn't get past the first half hour before switching off. Character too unlikeable!
