Quirky, Fun , Universal *and* Meaningful

Rating: 9/10 (15 February 2008)

Saw this on Christmas Day. LOVE it.
Bought the soundtrack. Can't stop playing it! Emailed everyone I know with the lyrics and YouTube link for "Loose Lips" by Kimya Dawson. Excellent anti-war protest song. The others are also wonderful.
The film itself is quirky, fun, universal *and* meaningful. Baby boomers on down through the generations can relate to *some* part or all of it. I'm the daughter of two adopted people, and one of my first thoughts was that I wanted to run home and take both my parents out to the movies. We seem to have some adoption themed movies lately. August Rush was good, too. Worth it, even though it was contrived.
Feel-good mixed with some poignancy.
Found it was still running, nominated for awards. Excellent. It deserves awards.
