About
You may enjoy this if you like gentle, odd-couple comedies with a sentimental streak, somewhere in the easygoing lane of Buddy; Not for you if you want big laughs, surprises, or a sharper story.
Pros: likable gentle giant; warm friendship angle; light rainy-day watch | Cons: predictable story; uneven comedy; too sappy for some
