“Can you float through the air when you smell a delicious pie?”

A charming crowd-pleaser, its familiar odd couple/“we can solve racism if we learn to understand each other” narrative gains potency from Mortensen and Mahershala Ali's wonderful performances. If crowd reaction at TIFF is any indication, this is gonna be very popular.

A total joy: sweet, funny, and heartfelt. Though it could have been 90 minutes of Franco absolutely nailing that Wiseau laugh, and I'd have still been pretty happy.

Is there any movie that isn't improved immeasurably by the sheer presence of Sam Rockwell?

Well, maybe Better Living Through Chemistry. But still.
