The whole thing in the summary about seeing the world through the eyes of a child was very correct when it came to this movie. i enjoyed it a lot. it was funny at times but still very serious and human and everything.

(****): Wonderful film! All of the aspects of the film are excellent from the acting to the story. This is a heart-warming film that requires more than one viewing.
