Yes, the previews were slightly misleading about how funny this would be. This was a true comedy, but the humor was subtle and the actors kept the comedy within the context of the script without letting the comedic acting get too big. This is good acting in the tradition of theatre and classic film. Modern movie goers, however, want to ROTFL at crazy antics and witty oneliners. So, don't go to this movie thinking your sides will be splitting afterward. It was a solid story that kept itself understated and true to a quirky plot, with great actors doing their job well, and nothing extra!
