It nicely mixes comedy with drama and romance.  The film starts off as something very light and entertaining, but slowly progressing into a thought provoking drama.<\/p>\n<p>I also think that this film shows the life&#8217;s complexity very nicely.  It adds some sugar and dramatism here and there, but overall does a pretty good job.<\/p>\n<!-- google_ad_section_end -->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<!-- google_ad_section_start -->\n<p>I am still looking for a source of good movies.
