User Reviews

Definitely a must watch!

This is absolute must watch! I always enjoy films that offer something different, and this one certainly delivers it in a truly fantastic way!

I really enjoyed all that the actors had to offer, a lot of heart and humor in this one.I'm a huge fan of Zoie Palmer and her part, she plays perfectly. She always finds a way to pull you in more emotionally. Julian Richings delivers quite the performance in his role, and the way he said a few of his lines made me laugh in that darkly funny way.

I loved the back story on how it all came to be, and honestly this movie is way better than I initially thought. I don't want to give anything away, although if you had cabbage patch dolls as I did, you may never look at them the same, lol.

It's certainly a movie that draws you in. I watched it on Netflix but will definitely buy the DVD off of Amazon too.
