Our Experience

Rating:        8 / 10

The movie looked interesting enough, but the actual movie turned out to be a great watch. It was fun, witty, engaging, visually stunning, with an awesome story. Although there a lot of cliches, it was mixed in with entertaining banter and a mission you can get behind. It's a movie for the whole family and we all enjoyed it.

This was quite enjoyable to watch! It's not heavy and it keeps the plot twist nicely hidden until very late in the film. It follows the normal character development arc of these light emotional dramadies, and in those ways it is very predictable. Still, a nice story, safe for the whole family, and heart warming.
