I just wanted to echo what everyone seems to be saying...
Benigni proves once and for all that he is a clown of the greatest skill, blending pathos and humour in the best traditions of Chaplin and Keaton. Sure the film pulls a few punches towards the end, but not to it's detriment. If you want unsentimental realism, try Schindler's List. If you're after a life-affirming, charming comedy full of heart, I can think of nothing finer that this.
See it!!!
