The movie could never be guessed directed by a debutant filmmaker as Theodore Melfi has given his best. Though the scenes are humorous in many places, the director has brought a fabulous touch to the climax which makes the audience have no control over their tears.

Star Performance:

Bill Murray suits the best for the role of Vincent and has maintained a perfect body language throughout the movie. Jaeden Lieberher has captured the hearts of people and made everyone wonder how a kid could act better than any. Bill Murray and Jeaden have got a fantastic chemistry in the screen that made the audience relate to their roles.

2) Crispy dialogues that make the audience laugh.

3) The emotions were conveyed much better due to the genuine reactions of the cast.

What’s not there?

1) The background score was a bit dull, which better concentrated would have made few scenes better than expected.

Verdict:

A narrative that could be watched once.
