So much average

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

As somebody who grew up watching Tracy Beaker, and who loved the book, i can honestly say that even now, as a 17 year old, i loved this. It brought with it laughs, sadness, and most of all nostalgia, and above all it is great to know that good old Tracy Beaker has made a great life for herself, as, as a character that i grew fond off whilst growing up, it was nice to check in on her years later and know that everything turned out great :) As well as this, the new children are likable, and easily endeared me as i watched the series, particularly Lily, the actress of whom was absolutely terrific and i see a great acting future ahead of her. All in all, a great show for anybody who has grown up with Tracy, or for new viewers who just want a heartwarming TV show, young or old. I definitely hope for a second series, as i would love to see what happens next with Tracy and the children :)
