About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an emotional, funny drama about friendship, independence, and dignity in everyday life; Not for you if you dislike tearjerkers or stories set around care homes, like Wonder.
Pros: moving friendship; humor with heart; strong performances | Cons: some clichés; occasionally manipulative; slow in places
