Is it for you?

Who'll love it
A natural pick for fans of a well-timed joke and anyone who loves a strong drama. Low effort, high reward: just press play. A good follow-up to The Banshees of Inisherin or Blindspotting.
The mood
Funny with heart.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 25 min. Done before bedtime.
What might put you off
Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

Due to a learning disability, Josie's life in a tiny town revolves around a menial job taking care of a garage that could close at any day. Things start to change, however, when David, the son of his boss' girlfriend, comes to work with him. Josie hangs out with David and his teenage friends, bringing them beer, and despite being a grown man himself, finds that the new company lifts his spirits. But his simple-mindedness blinds him to some potential legal dangers.
