Who'll love it
Made for anyone who wants a laugh and families. If you loved The Secret Life of Bees or Captain Fantastic, start here. Audiences love it more than critics do: a crowd-pleaser first.

Funny with heart, feel-good.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 32 min.
What might put you off
Rated PG-13. Probably too much for younger kids.
