Mia perks up things with her arrival, but it's like a temporary spark in the darkness, which goes off almost as soon as it was lit. There are gags just for the sake of inducing chuckles, some of which make no sense at all. And that horribly slow pacing - which would make the 2 hours a real hair-pulling exercise.

It may win a few Oscars, but it was not my cup of tea.

When I saw the trailer, I had a feeling it might be all style and no substance.
