Ratings and reviews

I would give the film more stars, had Sarah Silverman not been in it. First time I've seen her acting and she is dreadful. The combination of bad acting and whiney valley girl voice becomes grating. Conversely Emma Stone and Steve Carrell were great and the storyline was very moving.

I'd been looking forward to watching this film since I learned that it was being made. I wasn't disappointed. A wonderful true story well told and another great performance from Emma Stone

Very good film and really easy to watch and follow. It was nice to see some familiar faces in it too.
