    Fantastic Family Film

    This is a beautifully told story with a stellar and fantastic direction. This film dives into very important topics as well as being a very fun movie to watch with the family. I highly recommend this film!

    Too Corny

    Trite and not even for kids!

    Repeated untrue reaction; when the child is told by a parent about the decision of getting married. Trust me that stereotypical reaction is very rare to happen.

    A film you MUST watch!

    This film was wonderfully cast and the story line is second to none. A hybrid between a family film that exploits an important social issue. Its definitely a film you should NOT miss out on watching!

    Interesting

    I blipped through this movie and found it mildly interesting while quite cliche'd. The cast was full of unknowns, at least to me, and I consider myself a moderate movie buff. The acting was ok, particularly the young lead. Rest of the cast, and the script was fairly predicable and rote. What I found particularly interesting was the multitude of 10/10 reviewers, all of whom found this to be the Greatest Movie Ever Made, or close to it. One apparently astute reviewer noted that these top drawer reviews mainly came from the film makers, and people closely associated with the production. One even self-identified as the film's creator while writing a very positive, albeit short, review. A reviewer remarked that people with an obvious agenda should not consider themselves as independent.

    Life lessons for your tinies.

    Bullying is prevalent these days. Loss is hard to discuss with children. An if you're like me, entering a family that is already established but the parents have split or passed away, it can be hard to figure out your place.

    This film covers all of that but in a way that's easily digestible for the kids. The girl in the film is outstanding and portrays so much of the emotions of her character without words. We see her character's struggle.

    The adult actors are amazing as well. They are all believable in the relationships with each other and there is a great chemistry between them all.

    The story is well written and directed. It's a relatable film that viewers will connect with on many levels. Great for children and adults.
