Did you people see the same film I saw?

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
