This was the first movie I have watched in a very long time that actually kept me captivated. Warm, charming and very realistic characters. This was like medicine for the heart. Beautiful.

Gosh this movies was so relatable to me back when it came out. I was a Theater student, happy go lucky type of guy (still am) but had this optimism in pursuit of happiness (dreams). It was painfully relatable watching this film, and has become my all time favorite.

An outrageously simple 'analysis' which ironically lacks any complexity beyond surface level character motivation. Stick snazzy jazz music to anything and it will invariably seem interesting. Nah. Glad you quit the film review game, Noteworthy x
