A well executed film, fun and touching. Haters got it wrong.

I think people started hating this movie because people like hating.I love the performances by all the leads in this film. I love the writing, the directing, and the editing. This is not a slap-dash, make-a-quick-buck film.Unfortunately, there is one short scene, almost an insert, for what appears to be nothing more than product placement. I suspect this was added by a producer simply for the product placement opportunity. It doesn't work, has a couple of laughs, but completely yanked me out of what was a well paced movie. It took several minutes to get back into the flow and made the ending come off cheesier than it would have if they had kept me in the story.This movie will stand the test of time. I don't know why everything has to be the BEST anymore. Why can't something just be good and entertaining?This is not the best movie of the year, but it is a wonderful film with a heart. And it's FUNNY. There is a lot of variety in the humor-- some of it on the nose or slapsticky, some of it witty or even urbane.I saw the morning show on a Monday. Lightly attended, but everyone was laughing and smiling as they left.I hope there's a director's cut where that one short mistake scene is deleted (should have been saved for deleted scenes or over end credits).That correction would likely not appease critics who had their complaints about Rocky and Raging Bull ready weeks before the release, but it would help.This is a fantastic ensemble piece that is funny (very much in a Bridesmaids' kinda of way as weird as that sounds).Don't let the haters keep you from a delightful film.
