About
If you enjoy gentle British comedy-dramas about community, friendship, and doing something daring for a good cause, this should land well; Not for you if you dislike mild sentimentality or slower final acts like in The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.
Pros: warm feel-good humor; strong ensemble performances; touching true-story heart | Cons: last act drags; added conflict feels forced; a few loose ends
