Reviews
You won't be disappointed!
This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
