After watching quite a few newer comedy movies from the older 1990s crowd (Grandma's Boy, Balls of Fury, most anything recent by Sandler) and all of those really crappy movies made on the coattails of the 40 Year Old Virgin, I was glad to find a comedy movie that was actually funny and not just stupid.
This movie has aptly been described as being a "tweener" (ie. not a comedy or drama), and that categorisation really does fit. It's got plenty of comedic moments, and it's fairly light-hearted, but it's not a barrel of laughs and no one dies in it, so it's sort of in the middle. Still, it's a good movie.
Sure, there are probably better movies out there than this, but when compared to all of the crap that's been produced by Hollywood since the 1990s (both comedy and otherwise), it's nice to see that at least some good movies can get made without having to go to England to film them and wait a few years for it to be released in America.
