    Had Williams chopped away more pointedly at the rambling script, he might've had something memorable.

    Ultimately, it's more an emotional hodgepodge than a compassionate look at real human problems.

    Sloshes between comedy and drama, never quite hitting stride as either.

    This is one of Natalie Portman's best movies. However,it is a little silly. But I still highly recommend you see it. The soundtrack is great too. Don't miss it.… Expand
