Don't pass by this hidden gem. A diamond amongst pebbles

Rating: 10/10 (1 December 2014)

I saw this movie on Netflix about a year ago. It looked interesting and fit my mood at the time. I didn't know it was a foreign film and I'd be reading subtitles for two hours. Has i known I probably would have passed right over it. I almost shut the movie off after learning it was only in English subtitles but something compelled me to stay and watch. I am so glad I did. Fast forward to present day. I tried to get my family who is NOT a fan of foreign films to watch this flick and finally they gave in. They enjoyed it as much as I did the first time. This movie is brilliant. I've watched other foreign films and I can't say I am too pleased. However this film combines classic comedy that all generations will enjoy along with the feel good part of a drama we all long for. The film is based on a true story which makes it all the better. This film truly is a gem. It's a diamond in the rough. Often looked over and passed by this film is a movie not to miss. Do yourself a favor and engage yourself into this film. You will not be disappointed. It truly is one of the best films I've seen in a long, long time.
