Soldini has yet again crafted an escapist fantasy that works. You even forgive him for making it last two hours.

It's a sweet film and lots of fun...Aspiring to be Italy's answer to Like Water for Chocolate in the romantic magic realism stakes.

A completely forgettable film that had moments of greatness, but never quite got on track for me, which is probably closer to being off track. Nice love story, nice characters, foreign, but who likes nice?
