Enjoyable at large but with questionable parts. 
While overall likeable, most characters are static, lacking any development. Even Wallace's 'growth' seems predictable and cliché, drafted in rough strokes.
Women are solely defined by their sexual attraction to men, or by motherhood. Several female characters act as comedy only, their personality, work or worries (or all of it) ridiculed.
