The plot ties up in a nice little Hollywood bow, which can be infuriating, but I forgive it in this instance, thanks to some subtle surprises in the connections between characters. And child actors who aren't aggressively precocious also help.
It doesn't leave me with much to say about it though. It's a film I enjoy, but not one that I form an emotional resonance with.
Final Thought: Can Ryan Gosling do some more comedies please?
Up Next: The Crow (1994)
