    Funny Sunny

    Nice movie with heart. Depends on your mood how you feel about the movie but I was glad I watched it. Heart warming. Nice acting, nice story. More than nice actually. It was touching for me.

    Heartwarming and funny!

    I have seen probably around two thousand movies and after seeing so many, it's hard to find really good ones. This is one of the good ones! It made me laugh, it made me weep, it made me angry and it did all of it in a very natural entertaining way. I absolutely loved every second of it.

    In my view, what makes a movie good is how it makes one feel, little details like the fact lead didn't use Austrialian accent - is totally irrelevant, I mean seriously? You think makers of movie didn't consider it? They just decided to not do it.

    Everyone has its value

    It's such a inspiring movie recently seen. Disability, so what!!?? I found my way out. There should be something each of us are good at. No one can change what you are. Be yourself, hell yeah.. the movie is funny with tears, nicely done.

    A good watch, worth your hour or so. No trash at all!

    Among the current lot of dud movies...this is a nice watch with a different perspective...do watch it. Worth your while.

    Great humour, light hearted and good story.

    27 yr/o male here. I really enjoyed this movie. The humour was light hearted and the story line was good. It's a rom-com without being too chick flicky with the story line and humour type. I found it genuinely funny and with good characters. I'm not a fan of most rom coms as I often find the humour to be too corny or over the top. This wasn't the case. This mixed in with an unconventional, conventional, love story made it really enjoyable and an easy watch.

    The other thing I really enjoyed (maybe I'm showing my age) is how it highlights the lives of people with disabilities which is really important in our society. It also showed people who watch it that may have a disability that they can find their normality in life if they just follow their passions and stay positive.

    This would be a great movie to show in schools

    It's a Stan exclusive or original I believe. So if you're wondering where to watch it... you'll need a Stan account.

    I'll give it a 9/10.
