Was anyone else bothered by the narrations?

Overall, I thought the movie was very good! However, the narrations let it down. For one, I didn't like how a conversation would be muted and then the narrations come in.

Second of all, the narrations often gave backstory which I thought was unnecessary to the story. So often I was like, "Why did I need to know that? I don't care that this character's mother likes to make cinnamon rolls for breakfast." (Ok, that wasn't actually said, but you get my drift)

Not everyone will agree, but I think voice overs are often a lazy way to push things forward. I'd rather see something happen between characters than for the narrator to simply say, "This is how the character was feeling, and this is what happened." It's the whole, "Show, don't tell."

Yes, some narrations were interesting, but I think they could have abandoned a lot of them. Very often I didn't really care what the narrator had to say and wanted to enjoy the moments between the characters.

Anyone else feel that way?

Very good movie, but I think the use of narrations is what stopped the movie from greatness.
