Reviews (1)
I've seen a couple of movies about widowers taking care of their daughters after the death of their wives, both in the form of drama and drama with a touch of comedy, and I liked most of them better than this one. The atmosphere of the old town was perfectly captured and made up for the lack of a good plot. I kept waiting for something to happen, for something significant to come along that would move the story somewhere. If it weren't for the end credits, I probably would have missed the thirty-three-year-old hippie who brings presents to the viewers who have been good throughout the year. 3*-
