    As a goofy little fantasy, however, this film has loads of charm.

    Relentlessly positive and optimistic, the film is also likable, in the most chaste way imaginable.

    Has all the mood enhancing flavor of a tropical cocktail made with watered down rum and fake fruit juice.

    There's lots of chemistry between all the characters, who are nice to watch and who actually act very good in this film. The plot is interesting as well and there's even more than one funny moment. But the film is all quiet and shy. More life into this movie, please!… Expand
