I loved this entire movie from the first scene, and intend to watch it all again because there were lines that I missed as well as jokes that I want to savor again. Rarely do I howl with laughter, but that happened several times during this entertaining hour and a half, notably but not least at the wildly genius "Mad Men" reference. Special mention to the three amazing child actors here, especially the particularly priceless Eleanor Sweeney, who together gave the story an extra dimension of fun.
I read several disappointing reviews before watching today, and lowered my expectations considerably. Why didn't other people find this funny? Could it be because I am exactly the same age as Jerry Seinfeld, and grew up in North America? So many hilarious references for those of us who were children of the 60s. Clearly, this movie was written to entertain boomers (whether they realize it or not), and for lucky me it's a bull's-eye.
As for the rest of you Debbie Downers, stick to your superhero movies.
