(Mild spoilers.)
This is a cute little movie, mostly thanks to a likable lead actor. With most actors, that first hour of self-pity and falling apart would have been intolerable. He manages to make it actually kind of work, and it's easy to root for things to go well for him. But this movie does just the bare minimum to tell its story, and there's not a lot of visible motivation for the main character to do what he does or change the way he changes. It just... happens, with no real catalyst. This makes the movie seem a bit hopeless, like he hasn't really fixed anything within himself and is doomed to repeat his mistakes. This is apparently a remake, and I am curious to see the original and see if there's a deeper story with that one.
3 stars.
