Despite good reviews, the concept of this movie weirded me out and I didn’t see it. Recommendation by a movie watching friend convinced me to watch it and while doing so I realized my feelings were similar to the characters in the movie. This is a sweet, fabulous, hopeful movie about the human condition, and one innocent enough–I kid you not!–that you could watch it with your church-going grandmother.
ps. Paul Schneider! Patricia Clarkson! You MUST see this!

I loved this movie. And like you I was rather skeptical. It was so sweet and lovely.
