Quite a pleasant surprise

Rating: Null/10 (9 April 2002)

Although my 13 year old daughter considered it a bit "schmaltzy" nonetheless she admitted to liking it against her better judgement. I'm an old cynic but I allowed myself to be carried away by the dream, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Dennis Quaid was excellent, made for the part. And my husband and son? They just loved it of course. Much better than I expected. Nice cinemaphotography. Reminded me of The Straight Story. Nicely made, well written and good production values. And what's wrong with going as a family to see a "G" occasionally?
