Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

There seems to be a trend in movie and TV productions recently. The background sound "blend" is so over powering, I can't even hear WTF the characters are saying. Why is this? Some producer sitting somewhere instructs his audio guy to raise and lower some background sounds to supposedly amplify the intensity of the moment. Jesus Christ! What's the point? I had to turn this first episode off after about 20 minutes. I'd been anticipating a terrific new cop series after watching the commercial build up to this show for the past several weeks. I don't get it. UN-watchable.
