Made me feel good!

Rating: 10/10 (27 January 2014)

My wife and me went to see this wonderful movie during our holidays in Monterey, California. We were in a relaxed mood already and this film added to our good feelings.
I am a huge Fan of the Danny Kaye Movie with the same title. I do see this movie as a different approach to the story.
And this new movie is so well done. Wow - Mr. Stiller, you did well! Some people review this movie with "remake"-eyes. Please do not. Some people don't like Ben Stoller. We do.
But even if you saw Ben Stiller before - in this film he is amazing. And this is a very personal statement.... :-)
We loved the choice of music and enjoyed every single second of the performances, the wonderful photography, amazing special effects, comedy (never over the top), We loved Sean Penn and especially the scenes and chemistry they had in their scenes....and felt so at ease, natural? Dito for the beautiful female cast - Mrs. MacLaine, Kristen Wiig and Kathryn Hahn - enjoyed every moment of their performance. Just grateful for having seen this movie -
I would only recommend it to people who like to "zone out" a little sometimes. Isn't that what movies are meant to ... ?
