Sweet, charming, and very overlooked.
This is just such a heart warming film that everyone seems to forget about. Why? I will admit, the plot is conviential, but everything else is top notch in this lovely family drama, which also features an amazing performance by Matt Damon. The soundtrack and cinematography are just so beautiful, and the script is filled with a lot of laughs, as well as some emotion. The film makes you care about all the characters and their relationships, and there is a few cute animal antics (through not so much that they overshadow the main plot) to back it up. Anyone looking a heartfelt feel good family film should most defiantly check this one out.
