It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

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

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
