Disappointing.The trailer was enticing and the reviewer quotes featured in the movie marketing were numerous and approbative. But this movie wasn't quite as lighthearted as I was led to believe. Or would have liked.
Poppy is a bubbly, eternally optimistic teacher who doesn't let anything get her down. Or does she?
She takes driving lessons from a vile specimen of humanity and these scenes are a drag.
It's more as if she doesn't want to let anything get her down but she's just not quite successful. Or maybe she is; things would be so much worse if she wasn't actively looking on the bright side.
That's a life philosophy I can totally get behind and have in fact espoused but it doesn't seem to make for much of a movie.
