Very, very fairytale-ish

Rating: 4/10 (26 November 2007)

Like a classic fairytale there are so many improbable circumstances and coincidences that it really isn't anything like a believable story. If you suspend this non-reality for a few hours and just sit back and enjoy your emotional buttons being pushed and the music, then you'll have an enjoyable time. Oh, and Keri Russell is a babe!
OK, the rules say I have to write more so here it is. One commenter said it was amazing that the actors learned to play some of their songs themselves. Well, I don't know if Keri Russell played the cello before she started working on this movie, but I would imagine it would be difficult to learn how to play that well from scratch in a short amount of time. The boy was very obviously NOT playing the guitar. What he was doing was not even close to what was being played. Most of the solo guitar parts he did were played by a guitarist named Kaki King. I recognized her style right away.
