Pleasant, with fairly cliché characters but well executed, and a plot that isn’t very elaborate yet still reasonably engaging.
The humour is handled well, never overdone, but enough to enhance the film’s smooth pacing.

This was all over the place that at times you forget the actual plot.

“I don’t care what makes sense anymore!” CLEARLY

Would have been a half star if not for Alan Rickman
