This was a pleasant surprise. Aside from being funny, it was charming. There is something that audience's love about unlikely relationships--this time between a schoolboy and his elderly curmudgeon of a neighbor. And of course the setting is Brooklyn; where else would this happen? It is not your typical Melissa McCarthy fare. There is a serious and sentimental side to this comedy. The cast is outstanding with Bill Murray in the lead in fine form. The movie is predictable but that doesn't detract from the quality of the movie.
