So much average
Absolutely brilliant
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
first off, the acting is really horrible. the only decent performance is the main couple, but sjeez, where did they pick up the actors?also at times the movie seems like an excuse for a selling soundtrack, which i believe it partly is, too, and that is just unacceptable.on top it might seem like a movie that means well with the kid experiencing his first love and being deeper than everyone else, but the money that's in the producers eye just klings away in the background.
