This film is "sweet" in the true sense of the word. I laughed, I cried, I cared about what happened to the characters, and it made me think about important things. As far as I'm concerned, you can't ask for more from a movie. Some people might think of it as sentimental; I think those people are cynical. It's a universal story, told in a very specific way. Extremely strong cast, especially Mr. Rispoli - just terrific.
