ireviewnetflix.com rating: *** This was all right. Not great, but not bad. I was just expecting something deeper. The trailer looked awesome and the movie was a bit of a let down. It was a little slow at times, but overall it was an enjoyable movie with a good story about a great idea. I really enjoyed that it was short (just under an hour and a half) and got right to the point, something most movies can't seem to be able to do anymore these days. Sandra Oh and Robin Williams are wonderful as always.
