My highest rating, Warm, quirky, funny, slice of life

First off. I do not agree with any of the other negative comments about this little charmer. In my eyes it is that rare jewel that entertains completely. (Tip to the guys: show this to your date or or mate and she will give you a big kiss!) It is far from a chic flick but women will especially like it I think. It has everything: quirky wit, eccentric characters, romance, out and out comedy, a script that seems to have been sent from heaven, perfect actors to play the 3 central roles and yes even some drama. The main ingredient seems to be heart, that is what makes this film so rare and so entertaining! I am a very critical movie watcher, and I found nothing to criticize here at all. I was completely captivated and spirited away to David Patterson's world.

If you fail to see this little gem, I will bring it to your house and force you to watch it till you, like me, fall in love with it. That should not take too long.
