Overall, I loved it. If I do have any criticisms, it's that it took a pretty long time to set up the premise. I was exhausted going into the movie and during the first half hour found myself, as well as the South African lady sitting next to me, yawning to no end. By the end however, I was thoroughly moved and the Saffa lady fully drenched in her own snot & trane (tears).
I should however mention one very minor annoyance - the lady on my other side kinda ruined the last 5 minutes of the movie for me by bursting out into raucous laughter every time the pudgy child with the even pudgier cheeks appeared. Ugggh!! So much for a touching catharsis. Other than that, a most excellent flick, Ted. I'd recommend it to everyone I know in a heartbeat.
