For the first time in a long time, a film that pleasantly surprised me. Catherine was indescribably divine. Justin Bartha's character perfectly set the film up where it needed to be. I'm really impressed with how the filmmakers made a non-everyday story into a non-everyday and original film. Kudos to the child actors as well... fun performances. For me number one, absolutely.

It's quite a pleasant spectacle. Nothing surprising happens in it and everything develops exactly as you expect, but thanks to the likable actors who really fit together and some really funny moments, it doesn't even matter. Moreover, I was pleased with the (sort of) open ending.
