What a great, charming movie.
Let me tell you... I had a terrible week this week. I got into a huge fight with a friend of mine, am on the verge of failing a class and on top of that, losing my financial aid due to mix up in my school's system. I come home from a long day and flip through TV channels to see what was interesting and I stumbled upon this film. I dont think I've ever seen a movie that left me with a smile on my face the entire time. It was just so charming, sweet and heartwarming that it instantly brought me out of the gloominess I was feeling, even though the movie brought a tear to my eye at the end.
The soundtrack is just a perfect fit for the movie and has a nostalgic feel. Josh Hutcherson's narration to the story just makes it all the better. He is a very talented actor and it's no wonder he has been doing as well as he is in the business. Just I wish Charlie Ray would have made more movies than this. She is also an amazing talent. I just wanted to thank the writer/director spouse team and of course the amazing actors and story. :-)
