[Tass] accents the easy bathos of David Parker's script.
10/29/02
This well-meaning film is really just another one-hanky slum fairy tale -- this time with an Aussie accent.
12/14/01
All over the map, not able to make up its mind whether it wants to be slapstick or a heart-wrenching drama.
12/13/01
Nowhere near as good as Tass and Parker's best film, the delightful Malcolm.
06/19/01
Top CriticUltimately undone by a less-than-credible, often cloying screenplay marked by underdeveloped characters and contrived situations.
05/28/01
Top CriticAn earnest attempt to fob off a sentimental and rather silly melodrama as a gritty piece of urban realism.
05/21/01
A crowd-charming contemporary fable with more than a touch of Dickens in its go-for-broke heart.
05/21/01
Top CriticProvides satisfactions that must be balanced against its flaws.
05/18/01
Top CriticIt's far too easy to hold a grudge against Nadia Tass's stultifying Amy, which would set a new bar for mawkish exploitation of a child's suffering if its every situation and character weren't so laughably bogus.
05/16/01
Top CriticEffectively combines the genres of musical, drama and comedy in a delightfully, family-friendly film.
05/08/01
A moving and wise story.
