Worth watching
5 July 2017 | by adtvtxjuno – See all my reviews

This was a sweet well done movie. Like one person said, it is a shame not many people will see it because it has subtitles and not well known. The clash of culture values is not "bigot" as another viewer said. The clash is the fuel for humor. It was a beautiful movie done with no cgi. I almost passed it up because there were no special effects. Don't make the same mistake I almost made.
