    Cute
    For some reason not known to me review for this film was not approved by the IMDb crew. And after waiting for 7 days or approval was deleted, together with other 3 film I reviewed. I did not get any explanation for the event.

    Well, let me focus on the film. The plot is not very realistic so it made me a little bit uncomfortable watching it. I do not like plots which are not realistic.

    Both principal actors were great in their roles, especially the little girl.

    I gave this film for m kids to watch and they said they were bored. I guess today unless it is a Lord of the Rings or something similar, kids get bored. It is a pity, since I like social themes, especially in my beloved continent Europe.

    All in all if you are for crying and feeling pity for people who have problems this is a film for you, otherwise you can skip it.
