Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- A natural pick for people who like the journey more than the destination and people who need a good giggle. It's a road trip, so the detours matter as much as the destination.
- The mood
- Funny with heart.
- The pace
- Quiet, then quietly devastating, at 1 hr 34 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in Spanish, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
