Really cute WW2 family movie

Rating: 8/10 (5 September 2016)

This movie is one of those heart warming movies that has all the right elements. It isn't just one of those movies that jump on the WWII band wagon types. There actually is a charming and moving story that involves the war to be told here. Enjoyed the slightly magic realism nostalgic style of the movie that had a Forrest Gump quality to it.
The cast are all good from big names like Emily Watson to Kevin James to the other less famous supporting cast. The actor who plays the little boy is effective at tugging at the heart stings when necessary. Reminds a bit of the recent underrated "Book Thief" which also has Emily Watson. Good trend to turn to historical settings to make family movies.
Worth watching/
