I love this film. It's a bittersweet tale of life, loneliness, expectancy, and fulfilment.
The acting is superb, the storyline is original. The director gives the audience all the information in a concise way, enabling the viewers to immediately understand the scenario, and be able to both laugh at and sympathise with the protagonist throughout the rest of the movie.
Rapaport is incredible. His performance is under-stated and fits the character and the situation like a glove.
There is nothing wrong with this film at all. It's clever, it's funny, it's sad, and most of all, it's entertaining. I could watch this film over and over again. I was touched in the end. This is a lovely film.
