- Right up the alley of people who need a good giggle and anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. Leaves you with something to think about. Shelve it next to Moonstruck.
- The mood
- Funny with heart.
- The pace
- Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 57 min.

How can moon and time affect human mood and fate? In the manner of a Greek tragedy , this movie shows how the chaos of life ineluctably propels its characters towards violence and alienation.
