With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Best for anyone who likes a story with a soundtrack worth keeping and fans of a well-timed joke. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Shelve it next to The Odd Couple or The Birdcage.
- The mood
- Light and funny.
- The pace
- Quick and easy-going, at 10 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1923: an older pace and style.
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
An uncle poses as a usurer to learn which nephew deserves his fortune.
