...guarantees a relatively thoughtful meditation on growing older, albeit one sometimes couched in sitcom sentimentality.

An entirely charming extension of the most unlikely franchise, gently handling big themes and dissolving cynicism with laughter.

Filmens styrke ligger i den gnistrende autentiske kemi mellem de bærende roller. Man er ikke et sekund i tvivl om, at de nyder hinandens selskab både foran kameraet og bag kulisserne.
