This flick has been hammered (trashed) by the critics (e.g., Rogerebert.com or Variety.com) but loved by its audience – 83% of Amazon reviewers loved it.
I say Bah Hum Bug to the critics! “Sugary Sweet Fantasy” perhaps, but it’s the season. Sit with your family over the holidays and watch this Disney-like flick.

The trailer holds a feeling it seems we could all use these days. Love and caring for each other.

We did get it last week from Red Box.
They all LOVED it.
But I was sick and fell asleep before the movie started.

We just watched and enjoyed very much. Refreshing to see Eddie Murphy in a dramatic role. And not Disney at all. Family film, sure. Great recommend, David, thanks!

Hi Bela. Glad to hear you liked it. I too enjoyed to see Eddie Murphy’s range. Hope to see him in future dramatic roles.

Agreed. My brother knew him briefly for a time, and he’s (Eddie) an emotionally, er, complex man. Acting gives range to these emotions, just like writing does for me (being a private sort). I think he’s got more to reveal, though I’m not sure cookie cutter Hollywood will dole out the proper material – it does love its formulic ‘movies.’ Aloha, David.
