Gripping story with well-crafted characters

The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
