And, for the most part, it succeeds. From the opening scene, that displays the great chemistry between leads Chris Evans and McKenna Grace, you know what kind of movie this is going to be, and you're okay with that. Or, at least, I was. Smartly, the movie does not begin with unnecessary backstory/exposition or an awkward flashback. Instead, it begins with the aforementioned scene with Evans' Frank, who is Mary's (Grace) uncle. We don't yet ...
It's time for this petite aspie movie snob to get critical. (Let's face it: it's always time for that).
