It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
