Life is but a random sequence of good and bad things happening. That is the premise of the story and that is how this film is structured. The director uses every trick in the book to put you on a roller-coaster of a ride with so many ups and downs in sequence that no eye will remain dry. Depending on what type of viewer you are, the tears will might come from laughing but much more probably from crying. Although the movie is partly tagged as a comedy, the humour in it film is very dark indeed.
One might think that the lesson behind the story is that life takes you along on a preprogrammed ride and you best lean back, take it as it comes and enjoy the good parts, but that is not true. I think what author and director want to convey is that those in tune with others will find that some things are inevitable but just as many good moments are of your own making.
The emotions hit you hard and relentlessly, but the end is conciliatory (at least, if you're male) and even whimsical. Not a movie for every day, but definitely recommended. 8/10
