A Major Disappointment

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.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

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