It's the kind of film that keeps your attention, with a relate-able plot and as you watch you become so engaged that the time flies by and before you know it the film is over and you sit there wanting more. A very lively film perfectly blended with lighthearted comedy and a lot of life issues and reality that many have faced in their own lifetimes. A great film to gather the whole family around to sit and watch for family night as it does not have overly exploited sexual scenes and the language is pretty clean.
