    Apart from being a series of comic vignettes, The Meddler is also framed partially as a romance, and a very endearing one at that. show more

    For all its relatability, the movie is safe and sitcomishly amusing rather than sharply funny, hitting the same genial notes over and over instead of building real comic momentum. show more
