Listonixio Fresh and Exciting
Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
alimadadi Years ago I had a chance to watch a dubbed version in Persian language. It was so touching that I watched it again the very same night.Later I watched English version too, it was great, but I liked the Persian dubbed version more. The dubbed version was so sad, probably the saddest movie I have ever seen.
imdb-70558 This is my go to late night movie, I don't know which I like better the soundtrack or the sepia tone. It just lulls me into a state of relaxation.It is witty, sad, thoughtful and surprising. While I would not recommend it for a child, I seriously doubt the get any of the subtle 'adult' humor. I have used so many lines from this movie, Clemenza, Sonny and the gang are getting jealous!
alexhammerbekk im not going to rate this movie as of yet.. im about 20 mins in.. needed to take a trip... by 20 mins i felt the urge to tell the world how epic this movie is.. it is a true masterpiece.. i need 5 lines of text.. im just wanting to get back to this fantastic film.. im just amazed... haven't seen animation and humor like this since.. ever.. EDIT: left me in tears.. true masterpiece
Antonio Kowatsch The movie tells the tale of two losers who console in each other by means of letters. So far, so good. When I read the synopsis I was convinced that the story was interesting. The movie itself however didn't seem to deliver in that regard. Instead I ended up watching another one of those "too crazy for you"-type of animated movies. Somehow all animated movies these days are pretty much a parody on the eponymous genre itself. All characters are completely over-exaggerated and ridiculous ergo unbelievable. Considering how one of the most important aspects of storytelling is the aspect of believability it's definitely not a good thing in this particular case.
