Overrated

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Bonnie is living in a villa with her mother Liz and her grand mom. Grand mom has to take care of most of the upbringing of Bonnie as Liz is ill. She's very depressed sometimes but at other times she is extremely happy. Bonnie really would like to have a little brother or sister. When grandma dies things get worse. Liz cannot take care of Bonnie and it looks as if social workers will take Bonnie away from Liz. She then tries to find a nice man for her mother, with a responsible father she might be able to still live with her mother... This film is very well made, the acting is fine, there's a lot of drama but also some comedy as well. When I saw it both children (I guess it's nice for kids aged 6 and older) and their parents were equally impressed.
