It's hard not to be sarcastic in describing this film. At the very best, it's sort of cute. The theme is so well worn that it's just plain trite. Basically, the idea is - hold your breath now - that true friendship is better than trying to fit in with the "in crowd" in high school and thereafter.
Boy, I'm glad that's finally settled!
See, I couldn't resist. The sarcasm just came right out. Sorry!
The main actor, Mark Ruffalo, is very engaging. I like looking at him. He has a sweet smile that reminds me of one of my best blacksmithing friends. That's about the best there is to say about the film, I think.
We've seen worse, but this is pretty much scraping the bottom of the barrel for fun entertainment. It is a romantic comedy, so no horrors are lurking to ruin your sleep. Hence - it deserves at least 1 star.
