It's not a great film, and that is really because of ambiguous vagueness that prevails throughout. However it is well acted, and the characters seem real and relatable, and that makes of an over-all enjoyable experience. The fact is, the film entertains despite its flaws, and you won't regret watching it. It's a great rainy day film with just enough head on it to be more than mindless entertainment.
