Just a warm, endearing, delightful film. All the characters were interesting and well-acted, and i enjoyed following them. It's definitely a crafted story with everything lining up neatly, but i prefer that to uncanny valley movies with one or two forced loose ends to seem less fictional. Although i'd definitely also watch this cast playing characters interacting naturally without converging to an ending.
