Good, not great. Fun watch when you’re in the mood
A coming of age and ordinary family in NYC. Simon gives the usual mix of comedy and sentimentality.
Surprising find that gives you an NYC period piece that isnt a crime film or romantic drama. A coming of age comedy with some family drama
Just as great as the play!!
