it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

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.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

I loved this film - It is so sweet and it plays really well - Delta Burke is so cute in it and she looks really good. The character which she plays fits perfectly with her appearance and personality, I had never heard of her before but she really stood out in this movie. It is a real feel good movie.. It is a family movie but I think that it would appeal to everyone kids and adults alike. The way the movie deals with some issues but not heavily is perfect for family viewing. It also has laughs and heartwarming parts. I recommend it - I watched it one evening while doing housework and it made me smile a lot :)I recommend it :)

After watching this movie, you'd want your own Dayo as well. Who wouldn't? Someone beside you at all times, always there to comfort, advise and help you, like a pre-pubescent guardian angel. A heartwarming story that unlike others, does not have a soppy ending in which everything becomes hunky-dory (it does, but doesn't give you that feeling) without too much effort. A definite must for the whole family snuggled by the fire.
