About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a light, old-school farce that mixes broad laughs with a pro-acceptance message; Not for you if you’re sensitive to dated stereotypes or prefer sharper satire like Bowfinger.
Pros: big laugh-out-loud moments; upbeat, uplifting message; strong supporting cast | Cons: dated stereotypes; uneven, exaggerated tone; contrived, tidy wrap-up
