More touching than expected. Lots of the obvious comedy you’d expect from the trailer, with more plot than you might expect from the premise. They of course have to make a dig on copyright issues with Signorney’s character.

Strange, the last words on screen are a statement that no one got paid for using tobacco in the film.
