    Just a feel good, great flick
    I saw this movies yesterday and I have to say, I was on the floor laughing. It was so funny, although a rather in a way sad story. But great acting, a tremendous story and just wooow. I just wanted to hug that guy. You could not write a story like that. This was life as it happens. A must see movie for anyone.
