This is a light drama to watch if you miss Italy. I loved the plot, and learned only after the movie was over that Liam Neeson played with his real son. A few scenes released a bit the tension. Some twists are welcoming the audience to the unexpected ending. I liked seeing Liam in a different role closer to his heart though the pain as a husband who lost his son is not foreign to him. It is most likely the first movie in which he and his son, Michael, played together. Bringing Lindsay Duncan into the play of the realtor role was a genuine delight. She was a tough nut to crack but her transformation followed that of the main characters, and she proved to be a business woman with much acumen in more ways than one.

I can't believe that I wasted my time watching this movie. I kept on re-reading the DVD cover trying to clarify the name of the movie and if it's a documentary or a film itself. The camera man looked to stumble wobbling the screen to get me dizzy. It's such a bad representation of Cannes, it's ridiculous! Seriously, how was Bill Silver convinced to do this movie, is a mystery to me!!! The cheesy scenes that smell of dead rat to any common sense person and all those wanna-be stars with the exception of Blue who in her innocence and silliness had more common sense than everybody all together in the movie. I'd skip this movie all together. It seems like it was made in the 1920s and even then, they had better techniques than this one. If you already bought the movie, well, you deserve to watch your money going down the drain. Not work even to watch the trailer! Ugh!

A realistic movie representing a normal family and its own relationship issues. A wake-up call for many who might take a lesson home and work on their own healing. Humor was carefully and so unexpectedly introduced into the movie, it was funny to see a different perspective than the obvious environment was requesting. Sad but well delivered by all actors, especially the children. My favorite scene was at the airport when the little daughter shouted in public a bad parental lesson that should not have been told, let alone taught the wrong way; however, this is a great reminder of how kids learn absorbing everything we tell them or they hear just like sponges. Well balanced to keep the viewer interested until the end of the movie and the transitions were not abrupt as expected.
