This is a bit too much of everything in my opinion, coldly calculated only for superficial comedy effects, which are not so funny at all. It neither worked as a satire, nor a drama. You feel the strong effort throughout, they wanted to be original, they wanted to be daring, they wanted to be emotive. Ever so strongly. I am always a bit frustrated when I feel this effort a bit too much while watching. They didn't fail completely, the boy is cute, some sequences are entertaining, but sometimes emotional efforts fall flat and turn sentimental. It's not enough for a classic. Watch Lubitsch or Chaplin instead.
