This is one of those films I can watch over and over, not too taxing on the brain, it has a gentle humour, is well acted and charming, yes charming is a good work. It has heart. I realise the premise is far fetched, actually way beyond reality but it does sort of work.
There are some touching moments, Hal's return visit to the hospital, and him getting back with Rosemary at the end always brings a tear to my eye, soppy I know but what the hell.
I also think there is more being said about society and marginalised groups than in a lot of films, and I find it interesting that this a comedy should even try to say that, and it works because it is a comedy. Jack Black is great as are the support cast. So if you can suspend your disbelief for a while then you may enjoy this film.
