Good modernized version of a Capra classic
Although it's not acknowledged, this is undoubtedly a remake of the Frank Capra classic "Meet John Doe" with a slight twist making it a tribute to the ideals of the original without being a attempted imitation or remake of the same name. Although a few of the characters are overstated caricatures of the original cast (most likely for comedic purposes) they make the film more palpable for modern audiences and keep it from becoming too saccharine or maudlin.
