George Bailey reborn...

Rating: 8/10 (20 December 2014)

An absolute pleasure from beginning to end. Not quite the same storyline as Its a Wonderful Life, but the arc taken by the main character, Walter is very similar. Apparently overlooked by successful people and invisible to many others, Walter wishes for something better. Eventually he takes courage and embarks on a series of real and life-affirming journeys during which, and I think it's not a plot-spoiler to reveal - he finds the true meaning of his life. Hits all the right notes for those looking for encouragement and reassurance that Hollywood still remembers how to play our heartstrings... I loved the soundtrack too - downloaded a few tracks already...!
