If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
