Goofs

In the sunrise scene, the sun is rising above the horizon and moving to the right. That can only happen in the northern hemisphere, and as the movie is in Nelson New Zealand, the sun would move to the left when rising.

User Reviews

Great family film

This is just a great feel good film for a family to sit down and watch together. It has been made on a budget and perhaps the acting and script aren't up there. However, whatever issues it does have are far outweighed by the overall result.
