Jordan D gave it a9:
This movie is hugely under rated. It just proves that it does not take millions of dollars and a "safe" plot line to be something great. ill admit it started off slow but it came back with laughs and an ending that makes one at first object to it but then realize how classic is was.
Noel D. gave it a4:
This movie didn't really seem to have much of a point. Morgan Freeman comes off like he's off his medication. I also find it hard to believe Paz Vega has no friends. It comes off as a 90-minute touch-feely slice of life that is supposed to make us feel good, but as a movie it completely lacks. I almost turned it off after about 20 minutes. Even Jonah Hill manages to be unfunny.
Francisco P gave it a7:
Interesting to watch Freeman work. Cute movie. More like an appetizer than a meal. But, like the salt and pepper calamari at PF Changs, it's a pretty good appetizer.
Peer L. gave it a3:
This is a weirdly uneven story that doesn't know if it's a farce, a comedy, a drams, or witty urban slice of life. I couldn't take it seriously and it is a prime example of a writer who cannot or will not grapple capably with the material. It is therefore a parody of itself and very indulgent. Give it a miss.
PnArdy PnArdy gave it a2:
Only watched it for about 10 minutes, then fast forwarded to the end skipping large parts. Nothing interesting, low budget urban drama with Morgan Freeman. All action takes place in a small food market.
Charles B. gave it a9:
Delightful movie on location in Carson! Funny and heartfelt moments.
