        It's nice kids movie

        It wasn't anything special, but is is a good movie for kids. There are some fun parts, but also showing how important it is to share troubles with your family bec. You might be suprised how much they can actually help you. Also shows avrege life troubles of kids that might not seem as big to us adoults, but they are important at their stage of life.

        The rest of this wil just be copy paste to reach te characters limit.

        As I already stated it wasn't anything special, but is is a good movie for kids and for the wole family. There are some fun parts, but also sad parts showing how important it is to share troubles with your family bec. You might be suprised how much they can actually help you.

        great idea, good actors, well filmed, terrible directing

        Honestly, I am not enough of a film-buff to know if it was the directing that transformed a good idea into a painful watch, or was that done at the story-boarding/scene definition stage. Perhaps a combination of them both. Anyway, either way, I have to be honest and say I could not take it any more past 16 minutes.

        1 day after watching Premiere; well done producers!

        This film is a BLAST. I am 1 day after watching the first public premiere, and film should not be underrated. Films like this don't come around often, so this is a must-watch if you like fun family films.

        A sweet coming of age film

        It's absolutely a coming of age film filled with some complex people and some complex, delightfully quirky people.

        The kids are good actors and it's fun to see them grow.

        It's a but wacky at times, but that seems to be part of its charm. And the aunt is the best odd duck character I've had the pleasure of seeing in ages! The whole film is worth it just the watch her.

        This is a family friendly movie - and the English dubbing excellent. Enjoy!!

        Hopeless...

        I don't know why but I only seen this movie after watching a reel of this movie. I have lot of hope from this movie that may be there will be some comedy or some suspense or some love angle of kids. But totally disappointed after watching. Starting was nice but slowly when movie is trying to getting a grip, it was slippery !!

        Cannot take the grip as per audience want that may be it can hold us. But it failed. Also the friend cannot hold the movie after the girl appearance. Game was not helping. I have to skip the movie to the end for find some interest. But movie wins ! I lose.

        I have no courage to watch part 2.
