Most Excellent watching

Rating: 10/10 (15 February 1999)

i'm not one to dig many movies, so my word is bond here :). this was an *excellent* film--without giving too much away i would say that the cinematography is beautiful, the store is even more beautiful...i was not sure at the first 10 minutes if i would really get into the humour of the film (and the subtitles bugged me the first 5 minutes since i've never seen a subtitled flick on the big screen before), but after about 30 minutes, i was captivated by Guido's character, his life, energy and love for his family, and at the very end i just burst out in tears...i didn't realize how affected i was. i came in not knowing what to expect at all, and believe i came out of the film changed in some way.
10/10--despite the PG-13 rating (not entirely sure why) i would HIGHLY recommend it for anyone in their pre-teens to 100s.
p.s. little joshua was *adorable*.
