QuickView
Story-line: Max and Nora may be from opposite sides of the tracks but, sometimes, opposites attract.
Pluses: fine acting, good direction, a somewhat raunchy tone and some quirky moments.
Minuses: none really.
Comments: the basic story driving this movie is not the most original on earth but its refreshing treatment and humanity make for a compelling watch. I’ll always remember Nora’s face when Max gives her that special, heartwarming present…
