Excess of Opinions

NOT the Little Miss Sunshine-esque “dark comedy” it’s billed as! it’s not really funny at all – mostly, it’s a sweet and sad little chick flick that never quite takes a strong enough step in any direction to make much impact.
all the performances are truly great, and with surprisingly beautiful cinematography, but it’s not sad/funny/sharp/sweet enough by half. entirely too mild, with no risks – nothing ventured, nothing gained.
