    An ensemble seriocomedy that's initially loose to a fault, but gradually wins one over with its shaggy charm -- and by the close has grown more ambitious, and poignant, than initial reels lead you to expect.
  2. Has a charming, skittish quality, and Lewis finds pathos and humor in his characters' often painful search for love.
  3. 50
    The climactic shocker is far too exacting, but Lewis nails the milieu, and has the sense to not spell out every motivation in capital letters.
  4. 30
    Relentlessly bright and superficial, even when the subject turns to self-destruction.
