    A heartwarming, cleansing film that's simply good for the soul.

    It's facile, predictable, and contrived, but there's still something winning about this multicultural drama from South Africa.

    The film does deserve credit for juggling difficult racial and class issues - but with a wacky score, cute puppies and silly side stories also jockeying for space, Bamford's best intentions tumble to a heap long before the movie ends.

    Saw this film last year at the Tribeca Film Festival. They don't make many films like this - I highly recommend it to anyone looking to be entertained and inspired.… Expand
