Not a fairy tale

Rating: 7/10 (16 August 2012)

The critiques in Metascore did not do their homework. They qualify the film as a feel-good fairy tale, which means they completely miss the point that it is a true story. The latter point and the unusual real life story are the reasons behind the huge success. Yes, it was filmed with actors but the real life protagonists vetted every point and the final product was not cooked and edited the "Hollywood" way to please audiences as it did not need to be. We are not talking about a recipe- based product here. The lazy American critiques watch too many American commercial romantic comedies and other "romanticised" genres to even suspect this was a true story...so, shame on the critiques of this film.
You should see this film because the feel-good you come out of seeing it, is not made up.
