of discomfort that walks<br />
a wonderful line between<br />
reality-based emotional<br />
honesty and engaging<br />
humour, it demonstrates the<br />
good things that happen<br />
when quirky independent<br />
style combines with top-ofthe-line<br />
acting skill”. While<br />
Peter Travers of Rolling<br />
Stones says: “It’s outrageous,<br />
twisted fun when boy meets<br />
girl, plus one.”<br />
