it does exactly what it says on the tin..........it's non-pretentious and non-patronising ,easy going, lighthearted
and socially aware.........it's not The Shawshank Redemption but it never claimed to be..........it's just some fun...........
..........plus i agree it had to be made.......and instead of some tragic Story about the effects of Enron and corruption it's light-hearted.............i think the critics missed that and took it purely from a technical, artistic and intellectual snobbery viewpoint...........
But i'm not some blinded sycophant.....i'll say it as it is.......All in Good Taste and Copper mountain for example are dreadful...........and Simon Birch has a lot of flaws................
...........but i think people over intellectualise movies sometimes and miss the whole point............
