Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Made for romantics and anyone who wants a laugh. Audiences love it more than critics do: a crowd-pleaser first.
The mood
Light and funny, romantic.
The pace
Breezy, at 1 hr 49 min.
What might put you off
Rated PG-13. Probably too much for younger kids.
