Tanya’s Verdict: I won’t deny it – it’s an emotionally, feel-good story that’s clearly designed to pull at our heart strings. Even so – I still enjoyed it and laud its heavy-handed directive: the extraordinary is ordinary and vice versa. A great movie for families to watch together that offers up an inspirational and heartwarming message. The book is even better.
