Delightfully entertaining tale!

I fell upon this film quite by accident and had no expectations. The storyline sounded intriguing -- something about 'a lively aunt with a past interrupts the daily routine of her serious-minded niece.' The story was a delightful surprise -- it is laugh out load funny and a gem of a film that explores a different angle of the dysfunctional family dynamic. This is one of Canada's most entertaining films of the year -- even better (I think) than Bon Cop, Bad Cop. I am surprised it has such a low rating, I don't know why, because even in English subtitles the film is funny. I fear what will happen is that some American film company will come along and remake it with Shirley McLean. My only complaint about the film is that I wanted more.
