Most importantly initial 40-45 minutes are awesome, movie is worth watching just because of this part. It clearly shows how a simple straight story can be so entertaining and heart touching, it was pure delight to watch that.

But one again, I would suggest to give it a try, specially because initial part is better so you can leave the cinema anytime you want after that.
